Gives Up! ' Posts: 1934 Joined: 30th Apr 2005 Location: UK	quotePosted at 20:29 on 2nd April 2009 Well here in Liverpool the 'famous' Grand National horse racing is on this weekend. I don't personally bet on it as I feel it is a terrible race. Beecher's Brook is far too high a jump for for very tired horses (it's a long race) Lots of poor horses have died over the years as a result of taking part in this race. I hate it! Also, we have another Egg run in Crosby. I'm taking part in that. It benefits orphaned kids. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I need to spend the time this weekend indeed replanting and getting things ready to plant. We might have two days of semi-decent weather before going back to rain..all this rain has seen my tyriglcerides shoot back up double what they were, if I dont' change it, I'm headed for some more serious heart problems. Excerise it the number one prime way to lower them, besides no sugar, few carbohydrates. Myseld, I think it's from no excerise while I was sick and my household over last month. May not see me as much here as I work on it. I haveto get back to at LEAST.. one mile every day. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
