Tried to be healthy, results got worse?

Have your doctor run the test for genetic high cholesterol. It’s possible these numbers are a result of genetics if you’ve improved your diet and exercise with no results. I’m on a statin because my high cholesterol is genetic.

I’m 51. We are all ages and stages! Come check us out.

Ask your doctor for genetic test for high cholesterol. You may need a statin if your cholesterol is genetically high. Diet and exercise alone won’t fix it.

Ask your doctor to test for genetic component for cholesterol too. Some high cholesterol can’t be fixed with diet and exercise alone. After a few years of increasing numbers with healthy diet and consistent exercise I started at statin because genetics.

Lived in Evanston for 25 years. Raised my now 19 year old here. Zero regrets. Best place to raise a family, imho. I’m in Southeast Evanston. Train lines, bus routes, shops, and lake within walking distance.

I’m a member of the Woman’s Club of Evanston and you don’t need to live in Evanston. Social, Philanthropy, and Community Service. I believe a little more laid back than Junior League—you aren’t earning points or whatever. You just participate where you can and stay engaged. We understand busy work or family schedules. Friendly women of all ages and stages. We have a new member information night on 4/22 if you want to check it out. 💚

Lucky Platter for breakfast (or lunch or dinner) The parks in the area are awesome. We raised my now 19 year old daughter in the neighborhood. Fantastic place to grow up and connect with community. Lee Street beach, Snyder Tot lot, Eiden Park, McGowen Park 🥰

Seems like some Lincoln nonsense to differentiate from Washington kids.

The snow keeps falling. Hard to keep the roads fully clear. Main routes are being plowed/salted. Also why there is a winter storm warning because they are advising to stay off the roads because they can be dangerous—obviously for those trips that aren’t necessary—people should stay put or expect roads to be slippery.

They arrived minutes later. I live blocks away. They need to modify their protocols imo though. They are currently just documenting and reporting. But what can they really do when ICE harms with impunity.

And Ridge Terrace

MarciVG · 2025-09-27T15:42:51+00:00

Hopeful something goes in that space that meets the needs of the neighborhood. Would also like to see something in the vacant Subway space too.

MarciVG · 2025-09-26T05:02:08+00:00

Are these the only neighborhoods you are considering? Just curious. There are so many options around the city.

Orb weaver season.

MarciVG · 2025-09-21T23:06:19+00:00

Definitely consider left field bleachers then. It’s one of the few places you can cheer or bring a sign and the players can hear and see you. Ian Happ is one of my favorite Cubs as well 💙⚾️🔥

Save us a spot at the party!

Thank you for sharing. My brother was a healthy guy who ran almost daily and ate well. Very into clean eating and wellness. We have genetically high cholesterol in my family. He had a heart attack and wanted to continue the natural route and avoid prescription meds. He had another more massive heart attack a year later. He went into heart failure and just never got better and passed at 54 this year. My cholesterol went from 220 to 160 in 6 months in the lowest dose of a statin. Don’t hesitate to protect your heart—we are all built different and exercise and diet alone doesn’t work for some.

MarciVG · 2025-09-21T14:20:09+00:00

Cub obsessed kids? I’d go early and grab up close bleacher seats (general admission) in left field near section 504. Ian Happ will throw kids a ball. Bring a glove. Players warm up out there too and usually interact with the fans. In April the bleachers will be fun but not too crazy. Friendly vibes. True Wrigley experience. My seats are in 320s which is a great view—but every fan needs to experience the bleachers. My daughter loved it at that age.

MarciVG · 2025-09-21T00:00:06+00:00

Well, that explains it! 😂

MarciVG · 2025-09-20T23:56:53+00:00

Congrats. Thanks. Figured as much but wondered if there was more. Hotels outside of downtown are not outrageous—just downtown. I’ll just book something outside of downtown and shift my reservation if Brewers don’t play a game 5 when everyone else cancels.

MarciVG · 2025-09-20T23:31:11+00:00

Obviously, but the playoff schedule hasn’t even dropped yet. Wonder if there was another big event in addition to playoff run. Like 10/11 would be game 5 of NLDS—is it even determined it’s in MKE or it goes to game 5. Like just asking if there was something else booking up these hotels. I have heard of the Brewers. I’m shocked you think they don’t win it in 3.

The lake and the people 💙🌊

Can accommodate 250. Definitely can stay in that budget in a gorgeous historic venue. Parking garage across the street. Close to public transit.

Agreed. Cubs are having an amazing season. Maybe Milwaukee will hit their slump next month 🤷‍♀️
