Guest guest Posted July 2, 2002 Report Share Posted July 2, 2002 how much you want?? i have millions, gazillions, bazillions. lolol i used to spend all the time (of course, it was mom's $$$). now, i have a blasted budget. guess at 55, it's about time. but i'm learning to live on less, and enjoy what i get more. right now, i'm indulging in the Pure Delight stuff, and am about to order another case of the truffles. and i'm counting on this being the last time. i'm needing that crutch a little longer, but by week's end, i'm taking the recipes from the low-carb lists i'm on, and all the wonderful helpful hints from this list, and gonna buy the store out in limes to add to my water (yuk). and by the end of summer, when vegies are more expensive, i'm hoping that tummy that's blocking my view to my feet will be a little flatter and not wanting as much to fill it. i watch the Hollywood people selfdestruct, and i realize i'm much happier. i never buy clothes (only drugs and testing stuff); don't spend much on hair or that stuff; and my real downfall is DVDs and coffee/chocolate. maybe i should get a part-time job in a coffee shop????!!!! lol or fudgery. NOT. pat > r > with more ;-) Somebody send me money and I'll let you know ;-p > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 2, 2002 Report Share Posted July 2, 2002 > <<how much you want?? i have millions, gazillions, bazillions. lolol>> Well...if you can spare a gazillion, that sounds good ;-) I'd rather have a new, improved body, though. Today has been horrible. I have very little strength, can barely walk or use my arms, my eyelids are at half mast and have horrific chest pain. Don't worry....it is not a heart attack. It is the myasthenia gravis. I went back to bed at 11AM and was asleep until some folks knocked on my door. I could barely talk to them....not enough air for words. I went from dry to soaked to the bone as they watched me. The sweating is totally incredible! Ugh! I like diabetes better ;-) I was bad....I fell asleep and didn't test after breakfast. It was 102 ...4 1/2 hours later, though. (wsm311@...)

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2002 Report Share Posted July 2, 2002 wendy. i'm SOOOOO sorry. today was bad for me, but just some hurt feelings. each and every time i start whining, and saying " poor pat " , i think of you. i adore peter and heather (and meeting them thru you; and think you are lucky to have them and they are luckier to have you), but i'm always amazed at how you deal with your ailment (i won't even try to spell it by myself) and just keep going, like a slower energizer bunny, but going and going. i too would give up my " wealth " --all bazillions-- for a small room, and the ability to each what i want, and not test. i never really appreciate good health until the diabetes, and now i'd tell anyone who would listen that they should be thankful, and maybe before they are confronted by it, to eat healthier. i watch the shows on Food TV and see folks gorging on the sweets, and fries, and calories and fats, and think " yep, that was me. invincible. " NOT. but i think for most of us, it takes that doctor's visit with the words of what you have to make you stop. but at least i can get out without all the problems you have. i hope tomorrow is better for you. huggers, wendy. pat > my > door.

It's OK to feel sorry for ourselves sometimes ;-) I was reading through my gratitude diary from years ago. Most of it is being thankful for and ;-) At 3:30 I called and at work. I told them I am too wimpy to cook supper. They KNOW that means I'm in really tough shape because some days it takes me all day to prepare, in baby steps, but I do it no matter what. is lobbying for take-home food.....something we never eat. That would be a relief ;-) Funny!! For years people keep saying I just keep going like the energizer bunny ;-) There must be something to it.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2002 Report Share Posted July 2, 2002 will check it tonite. i found that yahoo (love/hate relationship there) was bouncing emails from another account, and it was all the diabetes lists. i get soooooooo stressed trying to figure out the yahoo wizard thing. i just found that a war is going on on another list. i just unsubbed from one list yesterday, and was about to unsub from this other list. i'm not liking stress much these days. things will get better. you have one of the best attitudes i've ever had the pleasure of " knowing " . just unlax, and cry some if necessary, and then reread your journal. i just think about heather, peter, your farm, and i get in a good mood. pat > > http://www.homestead.com/peaceandcarrots/housepics5.html > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 2, 2002 Report Share Posted July 2, 2002 i just think about heather, peter, your farm, and i get in a good mood. pat I'm glad we could be useful ;-) After you unsubbed, I wrote a long letter to that group. Pretty much EVERY group I'm on is arguing about the Pledge of Allegiance or what is appropriate or something. Must be the hot weather making people grouchy!! (wsm311@...)

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2002 Report Share Posted July 2, 2002 i read your letter. it was super. i was still receiving emails until yahoo got me off. i'm very white, and very straight, but i don't care for prejudice against blacks, gays, or anyone else. and then say anything about my country, and i go beserk. my aunt asked me to care for her for the next three weeks, and of couse, i said " yes. " then i think i got a little upset that i was gonna be in the same situation that just left me, and i'm still recouping from that. i'm not sure whether i was feeling warm and cuddly that her family thought i was the only one that could do it; or irritated at my stupid mouth for saying " yeah, sure. " and then, it's hot; grass is crunchy; and i have to go shopping (like i said, something i hate). the posts on the other list got on my last nerve, like the ones today, and rather than walking away, i flamed the flame. i need to get reacquainted with my delete key, which i just did here. lol but i think with diabetes, there are some days the body does not perform some functions well, and something is not feeling right. and it's easy to lash out on others. that's one of my main projects now. if i'm p*ssed that i can't eat; or drink; or whatever, i need to walk, read something inspirational, or just sit on the hot, hot, hot porch and watch the little wren that's built a nest in my Boston Fern (darn him/her, lol), and get over " it " . hope tomorrow is better for you, wendy, my little bunny. lol pat > > I'm glad we could be useful ;-) After you unsubbed, I wrote a long letter > to > that group.
