Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / March 2006Ping: Loretta, Cheri
Hey Loretta, Cheri: How am I doing?? LOL. I've been keeping mum until I have something on topic to say, as per my promise. GC is making my task difficult, but I'm resolved to say nothing to him during his argument with Roger. <g> Dave It looks good to me David. one thread at a time, one post at a time, one day at a time :-) Loretta -- In tribute to the United States of America and the State of Israel, two bastions of strength in a world filled with strife and terrorism.

You're always civil, as a rule, and especially in the face of truly noxious behavior from others. You always have your dignity intact, even when you lose your cool. It was really ugly when Peter came here, an example of how folks will sometimes leap to judgment and call others names, try to marginalize them to keep them from getting any benefit of support here. Just for saying he controlled his diabetes with Atkins. Susan Knowing who Peter is, it hurt me for him. One of the nicest guys on usenet, IMO. If people only knew how much they could have learned from him before "caning him." They might still have done it. <sigh> Cheri >It was really ugly when Peter came here, an example of how folks will >sometimes leap to judgment and call others names, try to marginalize >them to keep them from getting any benefit of support here.

Wanted to put my arms around him and say...It's OK, but knowing Peter, he's always OK.

SignatureGrandpa Chuck -ô¿ô- ~ 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 Mar. 23, 2006 is 2,322. Americans wounded = more than 17,000 United Kingdom = 103 Other = 104 Iraqi deaths are probably in excess of 100,000. Today, March 25, 2006 It has been 1059 days since Bush declared, "Mission Accomplished in Iraq." >:: Yes, he had a horrible time here.

When I moved out of my driving seat and into the cab company as Operations Manager, I was told by my senior shift supervisor that I would know when I was having some useful effect on disciplining cab drivers when my name appeared on the toilet wall. With suitable adjectives and anatomically impossible painful suggestions. Took less than a month:-) However, making the effort for tact can be rather useful if your intent is to persuade rather than just vent.

You might want to lay back and study the culture of this group a bit, before you get sucked into some of the nonsense, though... I hope you will be a regular for quite a long time.

You are both big time help to this casual association of very sick individuals (by which I mean physically ill with diseases of various kinds and not the other thing) who are also adults with their own quirks and manners. Some of them give me grief from time to time, and I'm a wonderful human being and a light unto the world, so that's the nature of the field on which we play when posting. Naturally, I can't point to a double-blind human study that proves my last assertion; so, I'm toast. And whenever one posts, one is probably going to be shot down by someone for something, but I go on trying to be of some help and solace to someone. Heck, I even wanted RK to keep posting, and RK regularly denigrated and decried anything I had to say. I'm sorry, my point is only that Roger you are welcome and wanted in case there is any question about that, and Will knows already that I wish to hear from him on any topic at any time he cares to write. Keep on keeping on, and don't die or go away. Best regards, rudy bantista@thuntek.net T2, last A1c 5.9, current bg 143 after 3 in. sq. lasangia. Rats.

And I hope you are as well and happy as can be. Well all of us who need to post here have plenty of trials and issues with diseasese and conditions, and I just think if there is anything I can say to someone that will make their load a little lighter or their day a little brighter, then its worth taking the chance that I'll make a fool of myself. The only thing I know I aboslutely don't want to do is to tell someone one wrong thing, but I know Jenny and Jennifer are always willing to help out when I screw up. Great humans all. Pretty good association we have the opportunity to check in with here. Some of us are a bit abrasive at times, but that's not unexpected. There are other groups that aren't so welcoming and are more bitter with newcomers. I'm just glad to know everyone here and listen to their lives and let them know that they are appreciated. Recently, several of our ladies have lost their cats, and I just feel so horrible about it. We are dog people, but our animal family members are so much a part of our lives and so loving that I just wanted to send each of them a hug. And we will never meet irl. I couldn't find the words to tell them how much I appreciated their great loss. Nothing seems adequate. I wish I could have helped them pass through it somehow. But I was lost. Support is hard. Anyway, I appreciate your posts, guys. Glad to know you. Have a great sleep, if you can, and soothing dreams. Best regards, rudy bantisa@thuntek.net T2, last A1c 5.9, current bg 124.

It wasn't you I was referring to. dave > I've been keeping mum until I > have something on topic to say, as per my promise Hello Dave, You do not have to stay completely on topic, you know. You have a really great personality and a wonderful sense of humor that you should feel free to share on the common off-topic issues of life, as in a party among friends. People talk about all sorts of things in here, not just diabetes. To parody Oingo Boingo, this is not a dead man's (or diabetes) party! ;-) Part of being supportive of each other in a group such as this includes enjoyment of our common humanity in a friendly way.... For instance, I think you are really good at that when you talk of your fondness of King Crab, your love of popular music, your life with Mary, and not just when you are talking diabetes. In a word, Dave, you are a genuine person. Don't completely muzzle yourself. Just a suggestion from a friend who cares about you. Will, T2 >>I've been keeping mum until I >>have something on topic to say, as per my promise [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Will, T2 How you doing Will? Speaking of crab legs, I just scored some huge ones, after making calls to three Safeway stores that advertised Colossal KCL for $10/lb. They all had the smaller legs, but one employee said he'd get me some large ones in a couple of days. I called him yesterday, and true to his word, he said they came in. I had all but given up on getting the nearly 1 lb legs, so I bought 8 ea. of Collossal legs at Albertson's for $15/lb. I picked up 6 legs (if I had a bigger freezer I would have bought a lot more) just to keep us in KCL for a while. I was told the season is over and don't expect them again until around September. That's a heck of a long time to go without KCL!!! 6 more weeks (2 legs per week) and then withdrawal sets in... <g> Dave > How you doing Will? > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > ones in a couple of days. I called him yesterday, and true to his word, > he said they came in. Hi Dave, I'm OK... Had to go into the office for a while today to get caught up on some work. I had to file an appellate brief in a murder case, which was a real pain, because there was no basis for the appeal, except the man did not like the 42 yrs he got for participating in a gang assault and attempted robbery in which the victim, a complete stranger, was ultimately shot in the head. Today was the deadline. It is a cool and cloudy day here on the East Coast, anyway, so the office was not such a bad place to be. Hope you and Mary are both well, and that you are over your cold... Sounds like a really good deal on the KCL. I do very much understand your fondness for those things.... :-) Take care, and have a great weekend! Will, T2 >>How you doing Will? >> [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > Will, T2 Did anyone tell him don't do the crime if you can't afford the time? :) My sympathies lie with victims instead of the cry baby criminals that inflict pain and mayhem on society. I'm still sick. I woke up with a start in the middle of the night, choking on drainage in my throat. I'll survive though. <g> Mary's doing fine--glad the weekend is here.

Sorry to hear you are still down with the cold. That sounds like it was a scary wakeup for you in the middle of the night. Hope you are better soon! :) Give my regards to Mary..... Will, T2 >>Did anyone tell him don't do the crime if you can't afford the time? :) >> My sympathies lie with victims instead of the cry baby criminals that [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Will, T2 Thanks, Will. Mary is lurking today. Perhaps she'll post. I was actually afraid to fall back asleep! I don't recall being afraid to go to sleep since April of 1996. Yup, I remember you've walked both sides of the street. I hope you put your share of scum suckers away. <g> Dave > Yup, I remember you've walked both sides of the street. I hope you put > your share of scum suckers away. <g> I have made arrangements for accomodations for a number of lifers in my day.... :) The thing is new crimes are occurring all the time. It reminds me of that Woody Allen movie, I think it was Annie Hall, in which he was recollecting images from his childhood, and he remembered having been disturbed as a child (nerdy kid) at the realization that "the universe is expanding"...... That seems how it is with crime, in a way. If we let ourselves, we could get quite upset at the thought that it seems to have increased almost exponentially in our lifetimes. I realize that is not quite the case, but does cause concern all the same. Will, T2 David, do you like crawdads? Just curious, because I thought for many years that they would be disgusting, but they are wonderful, and pretty cheap. After living in Rio Vista CA for several years, I came to appreciate them. Sort of a poor mans KCL, or lobster IMO. :-) -- Cheri David wrote in message ... >Speaking of crab legs, I just scored some huge ones, after making calls >to three Safeway stores that advertised Colossal KCL for $10/lb.

Hi Roger, I grew up in MS, just off campus from MS State Univ., and we must have had about 500-1000 living in our back yard.... We had a large back yard, and there used to be a pond on part of it.... We got rid of the pond, but the crawfish are probably still there. It was a lot of fun catching them, from time to time....:-) You probably know about picking blackberries and bass, bream, and catfish fishing, too, I would guess. Then, there was the horse riding.... Usually, our fruit trees would start blooming in late Feb, or early March. It really was a great place to live most of the time, except perhaps in the heat of the summer.

The only seafoods I like are scallops (they were $17/lb at Safeway yesterday--too pricy for me), lobster, and crab. You wouldn't catch me eating oysters or clams on a dare!

Tasted marvellous just now for dinner. As to whether it was safe to buy that way - ask me tomorrow morning if I survive the night:-) I also bought some cheap green prawns (shrimp to you), but I won't be eating them.

A bream (pr "brim") is a silvery salt-water fish, usually about 8-12" long, sort of oval in shape and spiny along the back. http://fishnkids.dpi.nsw.gov.au/learn/images/bag-bream.jpg A flat-head (aka "lizard") is a leathery-looking, brownish green on top, flat looking fish which is wide at the head and tapers to the tail. usually found in salt-water estuaries and rivers, but often close off-shore on sand bars. Can grow very large - but usually in the 12-20" range for casual anglers. http://www2.dpi.qld.gov.au/fishweb/2835.html Both are marvellous eating.

Actually, there are also freshwater bream that would also go by the common names of "Blue Gill" and "Sunfish" (scientific name: Lepomis macrochirus). They are very common in Ohio and in the S.E. United States.... Sometimes, they have been known to grow to as much as 7-10 inches, but frequently they are only about 5 inches in length, depending upon crowding and food supply, etc. What Alan described as salt water bream, sounds quite similar to what we call "Spot" here in the Mid-Atlantic (scientific name: Leiostomus xanthurus)... They are frequently about 6-8 inches are are frequently caught by surf fishermen on the beach, using blood worms or pieces of clams. Will, T2 : . Well, I understand Bluegill, I used to love them fried up all nice a crispy, after catching them at Meeks' Pond. Those were good days. Hope you're having a good day Will, raining here right now. :-) -- Cheri wmmckee@cox.net wrote in message ... >Actually, there are also freshwater bream that would also go by the common >names of "Blue Gill" and "Sunfish" (scientific name: Lepomis macrochirus). >They are very common in Ohio and in the S.E.

I think it must have something to do with La Niña.... "The Girl". This would be the opposite of El Niño.... "The Child"..

I think I was looking at it as temperature. That's pretty low isn't it David? Do you go low like that often?
