Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / November 2005War
I posted about misuse of his group and some that can't seem to read seemed to think I was blasting anti war people. I am probably more anti war than some here. I was drafted in the Korean fiasco. Luckily I escaped harm but wasted a couple of years. Some with me were n t so lucky. I worked on Atomic Weapons effect since I strongly believe they will punish the elite along with the peons. I think war is based on greed of an elite. The weapons actually prevented.WW3. Chuck, I am not an egomaniac but you are misusing this group for selfish purposes. This is the grist of my posting today. I am far down the road and have been minutes from death several times. A young neighbor had a new baby last night. That is what we should focus on. Diabetes for many here will have the same effect as war. Why in the hell don't you understand that. As far as the religious nuts. Your mouth will not cut it. Any God will se through hypocrisy. Like th e POGO cartoon. It said "I have seen the enemy and it is us" This is a group or diabetes not politics or religion. Not for selfish people to destroy it's value.. We are not here to listen to obsessions. from any corner. I just checked and I have known over 100 people murdered n war. We can do nothing about that but we can do a lot about diabetes--just not enough. Guy >I posted about misuse of his group and some that >can't seem to read seemed to think I was blasting [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >this group for selfish purposes.

That is what we should focus on. I can well remember people saying that on one in their right mind would bring a child into the world when we could be bombed back to the stone age by the Russians at any second back in the cold war. I don't think it stopped any children from being born. Who knows; the one to lead this country to total peace may have been born during the cold war or even today. >Diabetes for many here will have the same effect as war. > >Why in the hell don't you understand that. > >As far as the religious nuts. Your mouth >will not cut it. Any God will se through hypocrisy. Yep. >Like th e POGO cartoon. It said "I have seen >the enemy and it is us" I have believed that for many years. We are our own worst enemy. >This is a group or diabetes not politics or religion. >Not for selfish people to destroy it's value.. Anyone who is so foolish that they would let a petty argument between a few members destroy the value of this group is in need of help that we cannot give them. BTW, I am moving back up to the subject line and adding the OT that should have been there to begin with. >We are not here to listen to obsessions. from >any corner. I have seen a number of arguments between members that I just plain skipped on by. I have very few people in my KF. I have put a few threads in there over the years, but those expired long ago. >I just checked and I have known over 100 people >murdered n war. We can do nothing about that but we > can do a lot about diabetes--just not enough. > Guy Are we not here to share our experiences, strengths and hopes with one another, as I have said many times? I am not a two dimensional person and forever thankful for that fact. I use two siglines here. One has an inspirational message, while the other has a patriotic one. I am sorry if some people find the latter one offensive, especially since it pays tribute to those who have given their lives in the war in Iraq. -- Grandpa Chuck -ô¿ô- ~ A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle, and twice the brightness can then be shared by all.

So why start a new thread? What's it got to do with DM? This is bound to kick off more of the same arguments about religion and war because you are having a go at those who argue about it, particularly the one you mention by name. What other effect do you expect this thread to have? By the sounds of what you are saying, you're asking people to do exactly what you are asking them not to. If you're going to post OT, at least try to keep down the thread count please. That way we can block a single thread instead of blocking one a day on the same irrelevant subject. Looks to me like THIS thread is a misuse of the group. Rant over. Thread blocked. VBH. | > I posted about misuse of his group and some that | > can't seem to read seemed to think I was blasting [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] | | VBH. LOL I've YET to see guy post on any thread other then making his own.. Often I think he just enjoys the individual attention and likes to stand out in a crowd. I've bitched about his starting of new threads that make NO SENSE whatsoever because he doesn't reference anything.. so to me, it's just an old man bitching cuz his panties are in a bunch. He would be MUCH MORE value if he'd keep ON-TOPIC in the same thread... But you know what they say... "Can't teach an old dog new tricks...." RK, t1 </rant over> > | > I posted about misuse of his group and some that > | > can't seem to read seemed to think I was blasting [quoted text clipped - 46 lines] > RK, t1 > </rant over> I believe we all have a right to start a new thread on what we see fit. Guy is not an old dog and he certainly knows more tricks about diabetes than the rest of us with the problems he has had to suffer through. Some of us are not as smart as you and the others and are dying from this stinking disease. I still can't get the hang of what to do other than lose weight and that is easier said than done my friend. | > | > I posted about misuse of his group and some that | > | > can't seem to read seemed to think I was blasting [quoted text clipped - 55 lines] | of what to do other than lose weight and that is easier | said than done my friend. called do you want to live or die. fight or flight. roll over and forget about it. I went through how many doctors in the past 6yrs? in the past 14yrs for my back? NOT until this one GP (which i've really gained a respect for her) took the time to look up symptoms and sent me for the right blood work. I learned what I had to do to keep alive when I had a stupid a.s doctor tell me I was a t2 and didn't need insulin when I ran 500 all the time, if I ate or not, exercised or not. you do what you have to do... sorry but my momma didn't raise me to take things lightly and I didn't teach my daughter that either. we're both fighters when it comes to our health and happiness. you have to choose what you want. the posters of asd are just like a horse, you can lead them to water but you cannot make them drink... so are you thirsty enought Diana? Revisal, you are entitled to your opinion of ,me. It is no concern to me. I am not here to be self serving..I do know who I am and what I achieved in life before diabetes destroyed my life. Most of my posts are not literal but to encourage good behavior so some can escape this nasty disease. Threads are to create controversy and to simply argue as an ego thing. I find you can present a counter opinion in a new post and avoid some ego issues. Most long threads are a waste of time. I have posted more items recently because they are indicated. I post ideas instead of recipes. For these groups to serve a good purpose we need a higher plane. It does not matter what I believe in the real world. You probably would not like it. You have demonstrated to me you are a decent and companionate person. Diabetes is a horrible disease in the long term. Is it not proper to vent hatred about what some person may post that you do not like emotionality. It is well know that diabetes does affect all of us mentally. WE do ,make allowances for this. I do not follow the crowd and let all affect what I post. When to bull stops I will stop. We need to discourage some things which Ted has done very well with salesmen that try to screw sick people. No one has to read what I post. Kill files are not necessary just skip my clearly author line. I use this liberally but miss a few very good items Guy Please post what you want but I am not engaging in a inane exchange with you. You are basically a decent person with big problems. Just like many of us Guy >Revisal, you are entitled to your opinion of ,me. > [quoted text clipped - 41 lines] >miss a few very good items > Guy I always read your posts Guy. Most of the time I find them very insightful and worth reading.  SignatureGrandpa Chuck -ô¿ô- ~ Perhaps if more people considered the following three things what comes after would be unnecessary: (1)A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle, and twice the brightness can then be shared by all. (2)Love is giving all with no conditions. Love is expecting nothing in return. (3)A religious person is trying to avoid hell; a spiritual person has already been there. ================================================================ The following information is given with the utmost respect for the armed forces and civilians who have died in the current war in Iraq. According to http://icasualties.org/oif/ The number of Americans killed in Iraq as of Oct 31, 2005 is 2,025. THAT IS NINE MORE ADDED TO THE TOTAL IN THE LAST TWO DAYS. United Kingdom = 97 Other = 102 We do not know how many Iraqi civilians have died. We only know the estimated number is much higher. > >Revisal, you are entitled to your opinion of ,me. > > [quoted text clipped - 44 lines] > I always read your posts Guy. > Most of the time I find them very insightful and worth reading. Chuck I feel the same way. I will always read Guys posts and his name is one of the things I first look for when I come here. He is one of the backbones to this group to me. Hi Guy I like you, and I respect what you've done in keeping the group alive over the years. But, to be honest, what you did most for me was show me what might lie in my future if I didn't take this disease seriously. Thank you for that. However, I'm afraid I get lost in most of your oblique references. Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia. SignatureEverything in Moderation - Except Laughter. > Hi Guy > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia. oblique. Now THAT'S one hell of an appropriate word to describe Guy's soliloquies. (And I DARE say you might find MY usage of "soliloquies" most appropriate!) :) so·lil·o·quy Audio pronunciation of "soliloquies" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (s-ll-kw) n. pl. so·lil·o·quies 1. 1. A dramatic or literary form of discourse in which a character talks to himself or herself or reveals his or her thoughts without addressing a listener. 2. A specific speech or piece of writing in this form of discourse. 2. The act of speaking to oneself.

You tend to speak to others. Guy doesn't. Not faulting him for that; just remarking on it. I've got nothing against him. Dave > | > | > I posted about misuse of his group and some that > | > | > can't seem to read seemed to think I was blasting [quoted text clipped - 75 lines] > > so are you thirsty enought Diana? Your Momma sounds just like mine was. :-) Yes I remember your hard times and pain. I respect you more than you know as I have been reading how you have gotten a job and wonder how the heck you do it. I admire you Reisa. I could not do it. I guess I am a wimp. As for thirsty??? Yes but too stupid as in not learning very well and trust me I have tried like crazy to catch on to all this and I just can not comprehend so I guess I will die young. Sorry sad but true. I may have good language skills and such but that comes from working in the public all my life but to learn something it takes me a whole lot longer than most people. I just don't learn well. It is like Greek to me. As for this group...Yes I am fully aware all of you have tried your hardest and best to help me. I can't tell in words how much I do appreciate that. I can't be taught as I don't comprehend but yet I keep coming back here hoping one day it will hit me like a ton of bricks before it is too late. My life for six years has already passed me by. No I am not pleased but I have to live with what was handed me as I have no choice. Again much respect and admiration to you for working when I know you are in a great deal of physical pain also. However I am not you. Sad but true. | > | > | > I posted about misuse of his group and some that | > | > | > can't seem to read seemed to think I was blasting [quoted text clipped - 97 lines] | Again much respect and admiration to you for working when I know you are in | a great deal of physical pain also. However I am not you. Sad but true. Well I love and respect you too Diana... I'm not expecting you to be me at all. LOL Hell, the world would crash if there were two of me. ;-) I just want you to keep asking questions to get help.. Remember the more you ask the more you will know. Is Dale still bringing in the cupcakes and ho-ho's? Are you telling Tammy what you need to eat to get better glucose control? How about telling Dale here are the list of my meds I HAVE to take and at this time and let him become a part of your care and help you remember. It's not easy, no one said it is... BUT it's denial... and when you're ready to help yourself, we're all here ready as well. Sadly, I know you want to succeed... You just need the willpower to do it so reach deep down and find it... Reisa. > | > | > | > I posted about misuse of his group and some that > | > | > | > can't seem to read seemed to think I was blasting [quoted text clipped - 124 lines] > > Reisa. Yes to all your questions. In fact my sister who is non diabetic got to go to see "Cats" in Cincinnati while Dale got me a box of choc covered cherries for Sweetest Day. I let him know about it too. But he tried I guess to be sweet to me LOL which is hard to do most of the time these days. Yes will power. Not something I have much of anymore. I will continue trying though. And I don't think it would be bad being you :-) You are a pretty neat lady. I love ya lots. | > | > | > | > I posted about misuse of his group and some that | > | > | > | > can't seem to read seemed to think I was blasting [quoted text clipped - 140 lines] | though.

LOL Hell, a few weeks ago drove to Michigian to see a friend. So... get ur arse in gear and start working on it again. I know you can do it.. You've been wonderful before.. and lost weight felt so much better about yourself.. Do we need to revamp the Bobsie-twins again?

I sure will let you know.

I have to ask. How soes suffering through problems make him know more tricks than the rest of us? If he REALLY knew the tricks, he'd likely as not hd to suffer a lot less. Or is that me just thinking logically? Some of > us are not as smart as you and the others and are dying from this stinking > disease.

No-one disputes the amount of hard work that's involved in tthis disease, be it losing weight (for some) gaining weight (for others) or "simply" maintaining a decent BG level.

Often I think he just enjoys the individual attention and > likes to stand out in a crowd. The reason Guy doesn't post to a thread is because then it's possible to know WHO he's banging on about. Starting a new thread allows him to accuse, bang on and generally feel free to say what he likes without fear of "the perp" giving him a hard time. It's what used to be called cowardice. Or hiding behind mothers apron. But that's Guy. > I've bitched about his starting of new threads that make NO SENSE > whatsoever because he doesn't reference anything.. so to me, it's just > an old man bitching cuz his panties are in a bunch.

No, but you can kick it up the arse :-))) SignatureBeav Reply to "beavis dot original at ntlworld dot com" (with the obvious changes) | > | > I posted about misuse of his group and some that | > | > can't seem to read seemed to think I was blasting [quoted text clipped - 41 lines] | | No, but you can kick it up the arse :-))) LOL I gotta say a big THANK YOU Beav.. .I needed that laugh so badly tonight... and yes, you hit it right on the head about being a coward didn't think abt it till you mentioned it. Other then when you bag on me, I find you're very vocal, which is a good thing most times. RK >>LOL I've YET to see guy post on any thread other then making >>his own..

But that's Guy. If you are going to attack someone in such a pointless manner, why not at least go to the trouble of checking you facts? I just did a Google on Guy's posts. Those that were responding in a thread amounted to 2850, those initiating a thread came to 1320. That sort of makes you and RK look foolish and petty doesn't it? >>I've bitched about his starting of new threads that make NO SENSE >>whatsoever because he doesn't reference anything. so to me, it's just >>an old man bitching cuz his panties are in a bunch. > > Absolutely. Guy can be a little vague in his mode of expression, but I have never had difficulty in understanding his intent. Why does it pose such a problem to you and RK? Too intellectually demanding perhaps? >>He would be MUCH MORE value if he'd keep ON-TOPIC in the >>same thread... [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > No, but you can kick it up the arse :-))) You know Beav, I have no difficulty in imagining you kicking a dog. (A very small dog of course...)
