Christine,
If it gets too much for you, go buy a Q Tip rectal thermometer and follow
the other post’s instructions. 8^D
w.O.w.
It will never get toooo much for me….I love it. I would hate to be in
Q-tips quality control!

SOH not required, but it helps. We cannot take life tooooo seriously or
we’ll go psycho.

He lives in South Africa and doesn’t have a clue what snow is (except on the
nearby mountains).
He speaks 3 languages fluently. I’m not sure if he lies in all 3 but manages
quite well with English.

2. You can’t change the past, but you can ruin the present by worrying
over the future.
3. Love ……and you shall be loved.
4. God always gives His best to those who leave the choice with Him.
5. All people smile in the same language.

occasion and it’s easy to exchange.
7. Everyone needs to be loved…especially when they do not deserve it.
8. The real measure of a man’s wealth is what he has invested in eternity.
9. Laughter is God’s sunshine.
10. Everything has beauty but not everyone sees it.
11. It’s important for parents to live the same things they teach.

Last week at a seminar called “Stress and Disease” by Dr.
Nickolas Hall, an expert in psychobiology gave an example of
coping skills for job stress.
When you have had one of those TAKE THIS JOB AND SHOVE IT days, try
this:
On your way home after work, stop at your pharmacy and go to the
section where they have thermometers. You will need to purchase a
rectal thermometer made by Q-Tip. Be very sure you get this
brand.
When you get home, lock your doors, draw the drapes, and disconnect
the phone so you will not be disturbed during your therapy.
Change to very comfortable clothing, such as a sweatsuit and lie
down on your bed.
Open the package containing the thermometer and remove the
thermometer and carefully place it on the bedside table so that it

Well, I always had another Janet in my class besides moi. One became my maid
of honor. She weighs about 60-75# more than I and is 19 days older. Her
father (the vice principal) called her Janet Sr. and me Janet Jr.

Gone away

Flagged “urgent, please read!”
And “answer with speed!”

Babette I totally agree with Jan. I think you will find Jan and I are the
experience ones on this list (meaning the length of years we have had
diabetes).
I am 48 years old, and some days feel 80. I have had diabetes for 43 yrs,
since five years old. I have been on an insulin pump for over 18 yrs and am
working on getting my fourth one.
I have no words of wisdom on the disease, except as Jan says, You need to
learn to laugh and relax, it doesn’t get “better”. I also look forward to
Marius, (and if you read this I will deny it and say some one messed with
my post). It was so good after he got back on vacation and to set at the
computer and laugh.
Marius I loved your vacation story and pics if you want you can send them
personally to me so it won’t mess others puters.
Sorry Babs back to you or I guess me. I am married and have one son that
lives in a neighboring town. I hope you have found someplace that will meet
