I recently received a general list of does and don'ts for elevated cholesterol. So, it seemed a good idea to share and hopefully get some commiseration. Here are thirteen things I'm told to avoid:
1. Processed meats such as bacon, bologna, and hot dogs
2. Whole milk
3. Cheeses over three grams of fat/ounce (Swiss, American, and cheddar are specifically listed, sigh...)
4. Butter
5. Coconut
6. Egg noodles
7. Cream cheese
8. Doughnuts and pastries
9. Croissants
10. Potato chips
11. Solid shortening/lard
12. Ice cream
13. Chocolate
While many of these aren't too much of a hardship, I'll have to get more specifics. After all, I have to find something convenient for workday mornings and don't want to end up on cholesterol medication if I can help it.

Thursday Thirteen - Female Crooners
Last week on my Darla M Sands blog I listed music groups fronted by females. In that case, I owned entire albums. To be fair, I thought I'd list those talents who are represented in my collection by anthologies and soundtracks. I know I've missed more than a few but here goes...
1. Martha Reeves - "Dancing in the Street" from The Big Chill soundtrack
2. Nancy Sinatra - "These Boots Were Made for Walking" from the Full Metal Jacket soundtrack
3. Lady GaGa - in a duet with Marilyn Manson on "LoveGame"
4. Paramore - "Decode" from the Twilight soundtrack
5. Eurythmics - "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" off my eighties collection
6. Medicine - "Time Baby III" from The Crow soundtrack
7. Fiona Apple - "Sally's Song" from The Nightmare Before Christmas collection
8. Teena Marie - "Lead Me On" from the Top Gun soundtrack
9. LaVern Baker - "Soul On Fire" from the Angel Heart soundtrack
10. Nena - "99 Luftballons" from Sounds of the Eighties
11. Bananarama - "Cruel Summer" off Class Reunion '83
12. Aretha Franklin - "Think" from the Blues Brothers soundtrack
13. The Dixie Cups - "Chapel of Love" from the Full Metal Jacket soundtrack

Thursday Thirteen - Shinedown
Today I thought I'd share thirteen tracks from one of my favorite rock groups. These are from the album "Leave a Whisper":
Fly From the Inside
Left Out
Lost in the Crowd
No More Love
Better Version
Burning Bright
In Memory
All I Ever Wanted
Stranger Inside
Lacerated
Crying Out
45
Simple Man
