chicken pox

Monday, May 31st, 2004

I have a question for the day. How many diabetics on this list ever had chicken
pox?
I understand it is one of the diabetes-related diseases. So is shingles. I
didn’t feel good when my brother had Chicken Pox. I had shingles at age 18
(dx’d T-1 at 11).

your name and number, we’ll
get back to you as soon as we’re finished.
2. A is for academics, B is for beer. One of those reasons is why we’re
not here. So, leave a message.
3. Hi. This is John: If you are the phone company, I already sent the
money. If you are my parents, please send money. If you are my financial
aid institution, you didn’t lend me enough money. If you are my friends, you
owe me money. If you are a female, don’t worry, I have plenty of money.

The cats have been taking good care of me also - Puff is the ‘day’ cat and
she sits on my lap and purrs while I’m using the computer. Calli is the
‘night’ cat and she snuggles up next to me in bed at night. And when a cat
is on my lap I’m not likely to get up and go in search of chocolate.

Iris Gray and Puff and Calli
I am so glad that you find such comfort and joy with your cats. I never could
get close to a cat! I’m sorry! I don’t like the idea that they climb on
tables and kitchen counters! But I do love to hold a little kitten as long as
I can leave it were I found it!
I imagine you won’t have as much time to write once the new job starts! Will
this job cause you to loose your disability money? Will you have medical

Iris, Tell your friend to call her local hospital. Ours here in my hometown
will aide those who need the med and supplies. I am not really sure what the
requirements were. I just paid for my moms until she got insurance because
she was so stressed about it and it just seemed to help. Hugs Shelia

Women and Men

MEN & WOMEN COMPARED
NICKNAMES

each other Laura, Suzanne, Debra and Rose.
If Mike, Charlie, Bob and John go out, they will affectionately refer
to each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla, Peanut-Head and Scrappy.

When the bill arrives, Mike, Charlie, Bob and John will each throw in
$20, even though it’s only for $32.50. None of them will have
anything smaller, and none will actually admit they want change back.
When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.
MONEY

A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn’t want.

Tip for the day

Wednesday, May 26th, 2004

My Deeear,
We have stores here called Dollar Stores. Everything they sell is $1. I
begged for bifocals when I was 32 and dr. said I was just a baby — but I
got them (ya know, I’m 60 now). Bifocals, however, are on the bottom. To
read (or vote) the head has to be tilted backward. Its hurts. Therefore a
cheapie pair for a buck solves the problemo. I have a friend who bought 10
pair — all diff. colors for all her outfits. She only needs reading
glasses.
I like my idea (passed on to me from her). I can tilt my head forward
instead of backward and still see.
