    I've been using Amazon since 2003 only issues have come in the last 12 months and have until this last one only been USPS related. I even planted an over-sized mail box to prevent most of those. I try to not order anything large from December through April. Driveway is uphill in each direction, not fun in the winter. We have an AWD vehicle.

    I received a *zon delivery Thursday it came in a box about 30 times larger than needed and would not have fit in the old mail box. Plenty of room in the new mail box.

    I'm with you.

    Pete posted on 11/22 so in my book 11/27 would have been this Monday and 12/4 would be next Monday

    Huh, they've always let me have coffee - just no cream or sugar in it (I only use cream so it's only half bad that way ;))

    All I've ever been told was OK to have was water.

    Naw, the fasting depends upon the tests being done, usually the requirement is because of the blood sugar test. But I believe a full set of cholesterol numbers also is better with fasting.

    ETA: My numbers are well off the charts on the low side that the doc doesn't care if I fast for that test. But I have to for the blood sugar level.

    Yep, I was a bit high last time. Told the doc I cheated with coffee(cream and sugar) So he insisted on water only this time, JIC thats what might have spiked the results. Normaly I was in the 170 range and it was over 200 that time.

    I don't want cholesterol meds, So I behaved!!

    They try to get those cholesterol numbers parked off the low end for stroke and heart attack folks by using high dose statins if you can tolerate them. I can and am on 80 mg horse(large) pills.

    Me too, as it is I have two I take just to keep the docs happy. The other three take care of the BP which my body actually complains about, when it is high or low. When high it is hard for me to walk when it is low I'm dizzy. Yes it does go low on occasion. There is one med that seems to do nothing most of the time otherwise it is my 3:00 AM wake up call.
