    On That Note: Put Me in the Movies

    Song: This Womans Work Movie: She's Having a Baby The scenes form this movie are all I can think of when I hear this song. In the context of the movie, it is a very emotional song.

    Help! I'm Fat - *** Official Exercise and Weight Thread ***

    Thanks. My macros include a 33 gram protein shake (I added peanut butter powder). I'm almost 6'2' and around 250 lbs. Today was a good protein day for me. I'll just need to make sure every day is a good protein day and try to eat clean.

    Help! I'm Fat - *** Official Exercise and Weight Thread ***

    I'm doing 3 days of weight training per week (45 minutes with little rest. Heart rate is rarely over 130. I'm 59.). I also do about 50 miles per on my bike (Heart rate mostly 120 to 140.). Is that too much cardio? I try to eat more protein to offset muscle loss. Am I missing comething...

    High Cholesterol

    Yeah, my Doc changed my Crestor from 20mg to 40mg (failed the stress test but the heart ultrasound was normal). That's when I felt I got the side affects. My numbers are not horrible at the lower dose. Meds do nothing for my HDL. I lift at least 3 times a week for 45 minutes and bike at...

    High Cholesterol

    I get what you are saying, but 25% of a low number is still a low number. Why be miserable for 20 years for that risk. My cardiologist consult is tomorrow. I'm guessing I will be put on a different statin.

    High Cholesterol

    This is good stuff and I was vaguely aware. My cholesterol is pretty good on Rosuvastatin (40 mg. Dr. upped the dose after an failed stress test. Passed my heart ultrasound, so the stress test was likely a false positive.), I am almost postive that that the statin was causing achy joints and...

    What TV show are you streaming right now?

    Great show. I watched it back in the day. Julia Duffy (Stephanie) was hilarious. She is also Drake's teacher in Drake and Josh. (My kids watch it. Dont' judge.) Still hilarious.

    The academics, including Merriman, will tell you differntly. Either way not a big deal.

    Retirement Targets

    How is income calulated for ACA? Previous years tax returns? 2024 will be much lower than 2023 for me.

    Retirement Targets

    Thanks. My family deductible is $4K. Next year I will have about $10K in rental income and maybe $15K in SSI (wife is deceased and can claim part of her SSI, I beleive), so it won't be alll brokerage money. I basically took the company plan because it was easy and they paid January.
