That is NOT high! Mine is 281, but my HDL is 85, triglycerides are 51 and Lp(a) is 9.0.
You should go to the Cholesterol, Heart Disease Forum to learn more.

OH, you remembered.
Here is the link to then for those that have not seen them. For the cat/animal lovers out there, here are some photos of the kittens I was presented with last year. AND, you need to enjoy them while you can as I have been notified by Yahoo.com that their photo album site is going down sometime this summer.

No, I bought a Sony MCV-FD71 off ebay several years ago. It was the ONLY one at the time that my Mac would read the output from - which is a floppy disk. I love it, especially the 10 to1 optical zoom. I also got a bunch of lenses for it at the same time. I have a fisheye, X2 telephoto, and close up lenses at X1, X2 and X4. I used the X4 for the orchid you liked. The MCV-FD71 is just 640x480 pixels, but with the lens selection I can do quite well. I just cannot “play” with the images much, like picking a portion to blow up. But usually I don’t have that problem since I start with images that are of a good size to start.

That is a kiki (Hawaiian for baby, use to describe the new plants that sometimes form on the flower stalks) that I got from an orchid that the branch secretary had when I stopped to visit her on a trip into my credit union. I was totally surprised when it put out a bloom stalk not that long after it was cut off the parent plant and potted alone.
