Did Statins Help?
Pardon if this is riddled with typos but it's 2:30am. I got my lipid blood test results back yesterday. I'm going to assume heading into perimenopause years shot my numbers up because nothing has changed food wise (though stress wise it's been astronomical the past few years which apparently contributes as well). A reminder, I was at 264 at the beginning of December and my shuck and jive speech to get my shit together didn't land well with her. After a talk with my bestie who is on them convinced me (us) with her experience, I relented and agreed to go on them. After almost 4 months on a 10mg dose (the lowest dose available), I'm at 184. So, I guess they work. 😂 I will also say this is with zero dietary changes and a pretty scattered workout schedule the past two months. I hope in time when all of the projects are done and we are finally able to focus on ourselves that I can eventually go off of them with hard work. I'm pleased with...
All of those Saturday cartoons except somehow I missed The Littles as I think when that was on I had to switch over to another channel that showed my Saturday Starcade shows instead but I did watch The Smurfs. After school for me it was always GI Joe, Transformers and Voltron. I do miss Adult Swim in the late 90's - that was a golden age for Cartoon Network as far as I'm concerned.
ReplyDeleteWe didn't watch a lot of tv when I was a kid (my folks still don't). I made a deal with my dad that however early I got up on Saturday morning, I could watch tv until 9am and then had to turn the tv off. So I watched whatever was on until 9. I know I watched Smurfs sometimes, that early there were reruns of older cartoons like Flintstones and the Jetsons. My absolute favorite was a cartoon called Dungeons and Dragons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YacKar7y3mc
ReplyDeleteThe entire draw of Captain Caveman was the yell. I can't remember even a whisper of single scene or story and probably couldn't ID any other character. But that yell!!!
ReplyDeleteMy childhood cartoon watching was similar to yours, with a small dose of Animaniacs and Pinky & the Brain as I got older. As an adult, it's The Simpsons, King of the Hill, Futurama, Daria and occasionally Beavis and Butt-Head. Haven't been watching much TV but my Saturday morning binge will always hold a place in my heart.
I was a huge Hanna-Barbera fan, so I watched a lot of the Flintstones, Jetsons, Magilla Gorilla, Squiddly Diddly, Jabberjaw. I loved Tex Avery with Chilly Willy and Woody Woodpecker. Some others that come to mind are Hong Kong Phooey, The Banana Splits, The Ant and the Ardvark, Richochet Rabbit, Popeye, Tom and Jerry, Strawberry Shortcakes, The Smurfs, and Bugs Bunny and the Gang, along with Fat Albert on Saturday mornings.
