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...
I always thought the phrase was "Don't take it personally" but somehow it has become "Don't take it personal". Then another one is it seemed like people suddenly started pronouncing the word Guru differently. My entire life it was GooRoo and suddenly people started calling it geroo. I honestly wondered if I was somehow in a parallel universe - and I still think that sometimes LOL.

ReplyDeletePronouncing the G at the end of words
No problem in response to thank you
When people over pronounce the G on the end it always feels like they are super emphasizing it - mad or sarcastic. "What's wrong" "EverythinG".
ReplyDeleteMy biggest one is that that kids writing formal papers for my classes seem to think that text speak is ok. I know their elementary teachers taught them better, and their English teach is fighting the same battle. It makes me crazy when they use U or 2 or 2morrow, fail to capitalize proper nouns, etc. in written assignments. The other thing that bugs me is when kids writing about historical figures call them by their first name. They just can't seem to grasp that they are not personally acquainted with George Washington, they don't get to call him George. Or george.
Two big ones are "irregardless" (not a word, it's a double negative) and when people say "eCKspecially" instead of especially. There is no k or x in the word, but it's pronounced with one. And as far as a trendy word that drives me nuts because I hear it all the blasted time is narrative. It doesn't matter if it's in print, on sports radio, or some other talk show, the word narrative is used way too much.
ReplyDeleteI have to say having been born and raised in England we always said learnt. So when I came to the U.S. it sounded strange to me when people said learned. I just googled it and learnt that both are ok to use but usually English will say learnt and Americans say learned.
ReplyDeleteMy peeve is when people say acrossed. Or son in laws instead of sons in law.
