11803. Magoseph - 10/28/2004 2:12:49 PM Hi, Mac. Is this the song?
Well she was an american girl
Raised on promises
She couldn’t help thinkin that there
Was a little more to life
Somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
Yeah, an d if she had to die
Tryin’ she had one little promise
She was gonna keep
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an american girl
It was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony
She could the cars roll by
Out on 441
Like waves crashin’ in the beach
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God it’s so painful
Something that’s so close
And still so far out of reach
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an american girl 11804. Macnas - 10/28/2004 2:25:11 PM Hello Mago!
That is the song alright. 11805. Magoseph - 10/28/2004 3:42:25 PM Flexy told me this morning that in all the USA and even maybe in the whole world, he’s certain that no one had a breakfast like mine: 1/2 cup of Bob’s Red Hall 10 Grain hot cereal mixed with 1/3 can King of the Sea Pink Salmon and one egg. Ugh, he said, how can you?
Well, could you? 11806. alistairconnor - 10/28/2004 4:11:16 PM Is that what the doctor ordered?
What's the ten-grain hot cereal? A sort of porridge? 11807. alistairconnor - 10/28/2004 4:11:47 PM ... Well if not in the USA, then certainly nowhere else in the world. 11808. thoughtful - 10/28/2004 4:21:22 PM While not tempting my tastebuds, that's a pretty healthy breakfast with a balance of carbs, fats and protein. Only thing missing in my book is some nonstarchy vegetables.
Good for you. 11809. Magoseph - 10/28/2004 4:44:28 PM The cereal name was mistyped, Ali, it is Red Mill and is composed of whole grains--wheat, rye, oats, oat bran, corn barley, brown rice, millet, and flaxseed.
I couldn't find anything else in the house this morning that would give me the necessary protein breakfast I need for jogging. The last time I saw the doctor, he told me that whatever I was doing was good since all the tests came out fine. I'm about two kilos from the ideal weight for my frame now. It's fun to run around and wear tight funky gym clothes again. 11810. Ms. No - 10/28/2004 4:48:21 PM Congrats, Judith! Excellent news on the med front.
Stems? Wow, you know, I didn't even notice the stems. I just thought they were decoratively arranged. 11811. Ms. No - 10/28/2004 4:54:31 PM Ulgine,
Great tune. One of my all-time favorites. Used to sing it at the Round Corner Bar with the Babes of Thunder. We'd pile into the booth next to the jukebox, pour about ten bucks in it and totally control the bar music for the next couple of hours. American Girl was always in the mix.
wow, now I'm wondering how many tunes I can recall from our regular rotation
American Girl - Tom Petty
Take it Easy - Eagles
Unchain My Heart - Ray Charles
Heartbreaker - Pat Benetar
Little Wing - Stevie Ray Vaugn's version
Light My Fire - The Doors
Roam - The B-52's
Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison
One - U2
Come Together - The Beatles
Renegade - Styx
Whipping Post - Allman Brothers Band
I know there were others, but that's all I can recall for now. Maybe kaykaye will show up and add a couple. 11812. judithathome - 10/28/2004 6:06:41 PM Magos, I would eat that in a heartbeat...I often have steel-cut oatmeal with a fried egg on top and my tests all came back good, too. Hadn't thought of adding salmon to the egg-oatmeal mix but some chopped ham might be good!
I never use milk on my oatmeal, either. 11813. thoughtful - 10/28/2004 6:13:52 PM judithah, I'm glad about your test result. I guess what I'd want to know is what kind of heart attack the others had. My FIL had arteries clear as a bell, but died of congestive heart failure. Others, it's clogged arteries and a lack of O2 that lead to heart disease rather than anything structurally wrong with heart function. My old boss's mother had heart damage from rheumatic fever as a kid. Many ways to have a heart disease, not all detectable with an echo.
I presume you're taking a baby aspirin a day... 11814. judithathome - 10/28/2004 6:19:48 PM My dad had clogged arteries, evidently. My grandad, too. (My mom died of a blod clot to the lung after hip surgery.)
I take certain herbs that have a blood thinning property daily and a baby asprin...not daily for the asprin because of what I take for my joint pain. 11815. judithathome - 10/28/2004 6:21:39 PM The doc did say I should try a low fat diet because of my family history and I'm going to cut out some of the fat but not the good fat...olive oil, for instance.
I'm going to cut my cheese comsumption in half, too. But I think moderation is the key. 11816. Magoseph - 10/28/2004 6:25:15 PM 
11817. judithathome - 10/28/2004 6:26:32 PM Oh, that's cute! I love dried leaves! 11818. Magoseph - 10/28/2004 6:35:38 PM 
11819. Magoseph - 10/28/2004 6:48:18 PM In Provence 11820. thoughtful - 10/28/2004 7:58:32 PM very pretty magos
11821. thoughtful - 10/28/2004 8:06:22 PM j@h, schwarzbein has a lot to say on heart disease and diet. The latest thinking is that a balance of all fats is important including the omega 3s...like flax and fish...as well as the omega 6 and 9 including saturated fat. Schwarzbein contends that if you don't eat cholesterol, your body will make it. Problem is the mechanism to shut down cholesterol making is a poor one and therefore it will overdo even on a low fat diet. Explains why so many people on an atkins type diet don't have more cholesterol problems than people on really low fat diets, or why people on low fat diets still can't get their cholesterol down and thus the flood of statin drugs. (Not that I'm recommending atkins at all.) In fact the studies linking heart disease with cholesterol are very poor indeed.
Also explains why the french, for example, suffer less heart disease than americans even though they eat rich foods.
Rather insulin is a major factor, as it leads to inflammation in the body and a build up of abdominal fat and the whole 'syndrome X' thing they're all talking about now. So one of the keys to reducing heart disease is to reduce the insulin rush by controlling the number of carbs eaten and making sure all meals and snacks are balanced. E.g., it's healthier to eat an apple with a hunk of cheese vs. just an apple as together they provide a balanced snack and reduce insulin rush, vs. the apple alone which is very high sugar and causes the insulin rush.
Just some food for thought, if you will.
11822. ronski - 10/28/2004 8:07:49 PM That looks quite a bit like our native Virginia Creeper. Do you know what the vine is?
We have some growing onto our deck that the birds visit now for the berries.
