I read in a reputable magazine a few months ago ,  that China and India were

The other day at work I was just about to tuck into a nice cookie
when Terry, one of my work mates, walked passed and said
'You can't eat that, you're diabetic' Things like that really annoy
me so I thanked her very much for her concern and ate my cookie.

I am a person without diabetes. Over the past 15 months, I have had
three seizures. Before that, I have never had a seizure in my life. I

I'm skipping about half the messages now.  Stupid kids, playing silly games in
a serious format and throwing mud at each other.  
We adults, fortunately, know how to bypass people who spend their time saying
"oh yeah, you're one too.....".  

Not a nice subject I know, but since diagnosis in March (t2, d&e), I
have been occasionaly suffering from severe constipation, which is
extremely unusual for me.  I suspect my change in diet may have much to
do with it, so am going to try high fibre for any carbs I do have, to

I get outraged when I see what these scum of the earth Muslims do to
human beings. Problem with the Saudi nuts, is they were brought up and
schooled in a government funded "education" program, that teaches
nothing but an extreme form of Islam called Wahabism. They are taught
