Diabetes Information

Deena,
I went to the archives to see what I missed while my e-mail was down. That’s
frustrating. Anyway, I remember you mentioning something about living life while
constantly keeping a balloon afloat. GREAT ANALOGY. I love it. You are so
insightful. It reminded me of the poem I wrote in 1993. I’ll share it here.
THE UNSEEN HAT
I wear a hat that is unseen that I cannot escape,
it’s there whenever I’m asleep and stays when I’m awake;
when passing by upon the street I’m careful brim won’t brush
against a person strolling close so Hat won’t cause a blush.
When saying grace before a meal I bow my head in plea,
but must be careful Hat stays clean because I cannot see;
It would be shameful, then, to look when “Amen” has been said

PUMPKIN PRAYER
CUT OFF TOP: Lord, open my mind and fill me with your wisdom and guidance.

Thus, Webster’s Dictionary was born.

The most frequently-heard comments I have heard since 1950 when someone
discovers I’m a diabetic:
1) You don’t look like a diabetic (I wonder, are we supposed to have green
ears? 3 legs?? What???)
2) Oh, I had an aunt who had diabetes; she had both legs cut off. She’s dead
now.
3) You must be used to getting all those shots. (Yeah, you can get used to
anything — even hanging, if you hang long enough.)

LaNatte,
My response (partly) to the following is below this *cutsey* lil’ ol’ post.
I am NOT a real doctor, therefore when I sign it as such, the letters MUST
be lowercase. Since I am a ding-a-ling, however, that can be capitalized.

Pazactly! A wealthy man was asked how much money it takes to be happy: Just
