Yup. The body definitely changes when it gets to a certain age.

Physically, I'm about the same as you (height and weight). And in my case diet changes made very little difference in my cholesterol numbers. Doctor says that heredity (genetic makeup) plays a very large part in your cholesterol numbers - your body will manufacture what it thinks it needs. So in my case he had to put me on a very mild statin and that did bring the numbers down. That was a couple years ago, and so far, I've not noticed any detrimental effects of taking the statin.

I was on statins for at least thirty years but can't take them anymore as they cause debilitating muscle cramping. I recently started using injections of Praluent but still not sure about side effects it might be causing. Extended medical covers almost all of the approx. $6000.00 annual cost.

I've got about 300 of those now.

The only thing I've ever used the pointy end on was juice cans. Beverages had pop-tops or bottle tops by the time I came around.

My Ma being, "frugal" used to buy no-name pop cans.
At least around here they came in the old type cans that you needed the pointy end to open long after the pull tab cans came out.

Bring back memories?



Same here, only ever got to use the pointy end for juice cans in the 1970's & 80's.

I think the last can I ever opened with a church key was probably tomato juice for soup. It's been in plastic bottles for a loooooong time now.
