Question about Cholesterol...
Ok, so I've been counting calories, watching my sodium, fat etc. but never really paid attention to cholesterol. When I turned 30 (the big 3-0, lol) last year, I decided to ask my doc for a lipid panel, since I have never had that done before.

Attn Ladies: Awesome homemade "range extender!"

It extends the range (number of miles) that you can drive before needing to stop and go to the bathroom. :happy: With all of the water I am drinking and my poor old bladder, it slows down my drive to visit #4 daughter in Chicago to stop and go…

Company ice cream
So, my company is going out and buying ice cream for employees on a pretty regular basis. I hate to seem rude and turn it down, but at the same time I'm generally not interested in the triple chocolate super-mega-jumbo sized ice cream cones they always get. Does anyone know a business-safe and polite way to turn it down?…
