    No Dr should proscribe anything without stating all of the risks you have a choice what goes into your system that way. I can tolerate at least lipator but like you plaque wasn't a problem and I pull well under 200 on my cholesterol tests. I no longer have a horse pill to sallow every day. With the horse pill my cholesterol was almost nonexistent.

    The subject of Cholesterol lowering drugs and the extreme upsurge in Alzheimer's is something I have been reading about a lot...

    My father in law had very very low cholesterol and yet he had coronary artery disease BAD
    Cholesterol is not the big picture me thinks..

    Inflammation seems to be the key here...but the drug companies want their billions of $$$$$$$

    GT's got manufacturer championship, So not a total loss. Had that locked up before race even started. The divers finished 2nd and 3rd in driver points.

    Mustangs also got manufacturer championship in the Sports car GT4 series. Ford teams need to learn point management in both series.......... :loco: :crazy:

    Battlin yota for manufacturer championship in Nascar. :cool:

    Not sure exactly what you mean... but if you mean you would buy a ton,
    but only pick up half at a time, I would say it would be the ton price,
    not bag price, if that is what you mean..
    as long as you picked them promptly.. Once the pallet is opened, obviously the
    cover integrity is gone..
    Prices are on the website..
    No more Spruce Pointe... Maybe no more Platinums...
    North Country is $249.

    thanks.

    Since I got my basement back in order, decided I better get some pellets in the house instead of bringing in bags from the garage. Picked up a ton and impressed the forklift guy when I managed to smoosh them all in the Explorer. I wasn't sure since this truck is a little narrower in the waist (inside) than the 2004 was, but she had just enough room - loaded up pretty much like the old truck with a couple in front. Load management system did its thing but I wouldn't want to haul like this for more than the 4-5 easy, and relatively traffic-free miles from TSC. Took it real easy so I had plenty of breaking room for the two stop lights.

    My current stash:

    1 ton of TSC's plus the last 20 bags of Inferno's stacked. Yes, that is a large pallet that holds 7 bags per row.

    70 bags stacked-infernos on top.jpg

    26 bags of Vermont's (white bags) and 64 bags of Oakie Golds (of old - been in ther for 2 years).
    90 bags left in garage-2.jpg

    Grand total at house is 3 tons plus 10 bags. Still have another ton to pick up from TSC whenever I want. I prepaid for 2 tons last month when I had a 10% off coupon for entire order :dex:

    Did the first pass of leaf cleanup on Friday. Wow, there were a lot of leaves down already - both maple and oak. Usually this time of year, the maples have started dropping leaves, but we typically don't see the oaks start to drop much for another week or two. Also overrun with mushrooms this year; more than ever before. Seems all this rain and dampness lately has really made them grow like crazy.

    X2 - NC @ $249 is a sweet deal for sure. Grab em while you can gbreda. Heck at that price, I'd be loading up for future seasons.

    Less than pallet = bag pricing, as in not a full pallet. Nothing on the website that I can see for that

    Just for chits, what are delivery charges for 2 pallets?

    That one HELLUVA load for the Widdle Ford.
    I have tossed a ton in a 3/4 ton Suburban and it did OK, but it waddled a bit, and I had to drive 30 miles home on an icy road in the dark....

    Stash looks great B

    Depends on how far.... Usually just a certain rate, not by the mile like Dave..
    Right now, deliveries are crazy...... So Henry is doing the close ones first (more in a day)..

    Yeah, Dave is crazy busy too. He normally charges me 45.00 for whatever I am getting but works it into other deliveries in my area.

    No bag pricing? (North Country) No worries, i actually have enough but wouldnt mind padding a bit.
