I got home yesterday to find that the gardener has ruined my
expensive VERY RARE ALMOST EXTINCT SLOW GROWING
Cycad.
These plants are so protected that one needs a license to move
them.
Went over it with the lawn mower.
I have struggled with it for almost 5 years to get it to a height of
about two INCHES!!
WHAAAAAAAAA!!!

I have a *museum* of evolution of diabetes products since1950. If someone
has a box without the canister of Advantage Accu Chek strips (RED ones) I
would surely appreciate having just the BOX — flattened and sent to me in
an envelope with 1-5 strips. I plan to have a display for my 11/4/00 50th
anniversary bash. I believe I was instrumental in getting the Comfort Curve
style (blue) as I was in the test study and it took 3-5 strips to get ONE
good test!! I complained that you couldn’t see to put red blood on a red
patch. They listened to consumers and changed them. I love my Accu-Chek
Complete. Too big for my purse though.
The remaining strips could remain safely in the canister. It’s only
the carton and a couple of strips I’m interested in.
Let me know what I need to do.
Thanks,

Gail,
Ask “Otherouts” on the pump list for her opinion. I wouldn’t trade my
Accu-chek complete, however. And I think I was instrumental in getting that
comfort curve in blue. 8^) I was in the field test for those meters and it
took 3-5 strips to get ONE good test. I told them it was too difficult to
put red blood on a patch of red on the strip. They changed to blue and
side-style. Leslie’s husband works for Roche and she too had the same
gripe.

My wife has been using it for 1 1/2 years now and even gave a seminar on it
to a bunch of medical type people. One of the benifits of being both a
diabetic and a CDE; a diabetic product reps dream.
Gang,
I did some upgrading today and cleared out some of Marius’ pics I was saving.
Let’s see if this goes through faster.

Verrrrrry interesting case here locally. The Lt. for the Co. Police who was
in charge of public relations for years (high TV exposure) was *transferred*
to jail duty in January with the incoming new sheriff. Two wks ago he was
getting out of his squad car at the mall and was shot in the upper thigh -
clean through. He was treated and released from the hosp. That eve. at 8:00
he married a newsanchor. The reception was at the Studebaker mansion which
has been converted into a fancy schmansy restaurant. Two bomb threats came
in there at the same time.
The plot thickens.
Seems he was still married to AND living with his second wife. The neighbors
regularly saw his squad car there and they filed joint tax returns. She
heard of the rumors of his marriage and he said I’ll call you at 8:00 to
prove I’m not. He called her and said he was investigating his shooting and
had to work late. Meanwhile, the wedding and reception proceeded. His female
cop partner of 15 years has had her service revolver removed and has been

Thanks to Hallie35… “Annie”
Dr. Frank Mayfield was touring Tewksbury Institute when, on his way out, he
accidentally collided with an elderly floor maid.
To cover the awkward moment Dr. Mayfield started asking questions, “How long
have you worked here?”
“I’ve worked here almost since the place opened,” the maid replied.
“What can you tell me about the history of this place?” he asked.
“I don’t think I can tell you anything, but I could show you something.”
With that, she took his hand and led him down to the basement under the
oldest section of the building. She pointed to one of what looked like
small
prison cells, their iron bars rusted with age, and said, “That’s the cage
where they used to keep Annie.”
“Who’s Annie?” the doctor asked.
“Annie was a young girl who was brought in here because she was incorrigible

If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong
enough to rotate a 42 pound boy wearing pound puppy underwear and a
Superman cape.
It is strong enough, however, to spread paint on all four walls of a
20 by 20 foot room.
When you hear the toilet flush and the words, “Uh-oh,” it’s already
too late.
Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.
A six year old can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36
