Welcome, Andrew, I know what you mean about the cholesterol reasoning. It seems there are no few reasons to force those drugs on us eh? Even if we are healthy we need to take the drugs, because our parents or Aunts may have had high cholesterol readings.

Nostalgia
[[quote="badandy"] . . .
so am I wrong in assuming nostalgia means 'pain for returning home'? . . .[/quote]
It's not about a pain caused by (for) returning home, but rather a mixture of the pain or sorrow or sadness of missing things from the past and the pleasure of remembering them, all at the same time. Perhaps a pain because you [i][b]can't[/b][/i] go home.
Well put. I wonder if there is a term for living in the past, as a form of denial of getting older. Maybe it's just called denial, lol.
