And he could sing "C Is For Crippling Heart Disease"

Check out this Australian initiative: Free Cholesterol Test

Personally, I think it's a great step forward for health.

What about you guys?

Pennsylvania isn't on that map of where to find a cholesterol testing center in Australia.

No matter where I click, none of the areas resemble Pennsylvania.

But if it means abandoning cookies, I don't want to get checked.

You can live to be 110 if you give up everything you'd want to be 110 for....(paraphrasing somebody else)

That's true. The good cholesterol / bad cholesterol confuses me.

They didn't talk much about that when I was in school. Of course that's back when they were just figuring out the invention of fire.

I can't resist putting a link to Cholesterol Doc - The Latest Information here.

Jawn Tech did say he was confused about the good / bad cholesterol deal, which the cholesterol doc explains about, so it isnt entirely spamming.

Aahhh, that link / site reminded me that I need to get my triglycerides checked.

Thanks for the reminder!

I guess it helps to stay on top of those things, because who needs heart disease.

I don't have heart disease that I know of, but I definitely don't want to get any.
