Sounds like us and Iris. So far, just a little hitch here and there. But the
same. In Canada a chesterfield is a couch - in USA it’s a cigarette. We
have napkins, they have serviettes. etc.

HEY!
You’re stealing (steeling) my quote!!! I usually tell people I got diabetes
2 years before I was born (making me 48). M O S T people believe me and
comment: Boy, you were really young. LOL
HEY, Mr. Know-more-about-PCs-than-I, do I need to teach you how to <snip

Yvette and anyone else who doesn’t know or could care a little;
My 50th anniversary of DX for DM will be 11/5/50. A HALF CENTURY!!! I’m
planning a BASH = Bawling, Amazed (that anyone would care), Sincerity, and
Humor. This will be on 11/4/00. I went into a coma on a Sunday and this
year matches 1950. So Saturday is the day to commemorate. I have a list of
invitees and am making a booklet of my diary pages over the period of the
coma and hosp. stay, including a great article on depression, and warning
signs of DM, as well as treatment of hypoglycemia/reactions. I figure this
booklet (so far 32 pages (full sheets folded in half - printed both sides; 1
sheet = 4 pgs) will be a good educational tool for those who think DM is a
dietary inconvenience. It also includes pump testimonials and it is a combo
observance for our 40th wedding anniversary. So I’ll print that info
upsidedown from the backside.
I’m going to display my *museum* of the evolution of diabetes products I
began with in 1950. I have *met* on the ‘net many people who have taken/or

Gail,
In what time frame?? jan

I just called my ISP to complain about the mail not getting through. Heard
an interesting tale:
It seems as though some *hackers* went through the entire internet system
about 1/10/00 and put a virus in to not recognize mail delivery. (I’m trying
my best to say this the way I was told, but I’m probably wrong.) She said my
server was one of the *attacked* and they have reset their system. BUT, we
will continue to have problems until all the servers reset their systems.
Attempts will be made for 5 days, then the mail will return to sender. That
is probably why 6 of mine will go through at once.
;( It’s frustrating sitting here and sending msgs and knowing they’re not
getting through.
I”M HERE!!
