I can’t believe this guy’s two! Happy birthday, Palbert! As a rare gift, his “pal,” Ziggy snuggled up to him. The tender moment lasted nearly a minute before Ziggy moved on and Palbert gave chase. But that’s progress!

I was diagnosed bipolar 1 in 1995 but didn't start sharing my story until 2018. Most of us suffer in silence because there is so much stigma and misinformation out there. Today is World Bipolar Day which works to change that. You can live a full life with mental illness. Never stop fighting.

The secret of life from “He Leadeth Me.”
Most doctors are still trying to put us all on statins. Most life insurance companies still won’t sell you insurance if you’re really fit, have great bp and ‘high cholesterol’. Talking with a person visiting from Scotland yesterday, it is painfully obvious that Americans are penalized in this for not buying into the corporate food, medicine and entertainment industry. Makes you want to be like the Amish.
Physicians not in private practice are now required to prescribe a statin if the persons cholesterol is above a base number. Regardless of the health of the individual. Medicine by the numbers is the path we are on! Also includes injections for grading.
Back in the early 80’s I was told my cholesterol was “high”; so, I was prescribed a statin & took it for a few years. But, I read about a study concerning statins, & the fact statins could actually cause someone to have a heart attack. I stopped taking the statin, & my cholesterol is not high & I’m happy I quit taking it. I read a great article from a doctor on this substack, Remnant MD (don’t have his name handy), about cholesterol & statins; I made a good decision not to take this horrible drug!
