hi martin, good to see you. sorry about the hot flash thing going on. i hope in the new year you'll get some good leads on other jobs.

a lot people did seem to drop off or come in less often with the transition, but they have worked out a lot of the problems.

i hope your holidays will be nice and cheerful.

i barely slept as many times as i tried. so i gave up early-ish and needed to get out for multiple things. what happens i get to walgreen's to pick up photos and my wallet isn't in my purse...thank heavens claire has a house key and brought down to me after i drove back. i'm catching my breath and will get moving again...

wishing all a pleasant day. hugs n hope

Good morning/zzz's

Martin with those temps a hot flash can be a good thing ;). Some of the groups did go kapoot a real shame they didn't wait out the changes. Good luck finding a suitable job :)

Aw Serenity that bites not having your wallet! and with not much sleep to boot! Thank goodness for Clair :). Hope the rest of your day goes well.

I crashed last night myself and finally had a good nights sleep. I have to get out and pick up some groceries when it warms up in a couple of hours. Need food for me and making lasagna for Christmas. Still haven't had that pumpkin pie, everyone has been out....fingers crossed they have some!

Peace, love, joy and harmony.....xoxoxo

Martin-feeling the difficulties having a brain injury. I do hope you find some place of employment that fits you. Brrr!

Serenity-one of the greatest pit in the stomach feeling is no wallet. Glad it worked out.

Toni-make the pie! Buy a pre-made pie crust, 1 can of pumpkin, 1 can CONDENSED MILK, eggs....425* degrees for 15 minutes and then 350* for 45 minutes. Bottom rack. Google pumpkin pie with CONDENSED MILK.

Body better but mind....whirlwind. Need to calm the brain. Our Christmas celebration dinner finished all now we can rest and relax. I do like celebrating a week early because it calms me.

Martin-the changes DS did indeed cause boards to burn and die. It became too convoluted when in the midst of ongoing health issues. The two boards I had once been involved with met most were either going into, coming out of or treating excruciating colon pain. Then trying to circumvent the board.....unbearable. If I were in the midst of my two colon surgeries there would be no way I would have stayed on DS. We lost a sense of intentional community.

Peace

Hey Martin!!! So good to "see" you. I was told anyone can start us. So, yeah!! Start away!!!
and, NO! It is never stupod to count down such a life changing event. Prayers for you. and, your wife!!!
There have been some great improvements on DS. To bad some didn't stick around to see it. I have a few groups that have fallen. But, I haven't given up!! We are still getting new people daily. and you never know....these groups might be just the thing they need!!

BTW, E, thanks for asking about the levels. Doing some experimenting. Saw a new diabetic doc recently. We talked about basil and bolus insulin. It seems I need to work toward getting amounts of each even. Basil (long acting), which is a lot at this time, needs to come down. While bolus (fast acting, mostly meal time) needs to come up. In the meantime, I am watching levels closely. They have risen....but, we're working on that. Thanks again for asking. Diabetes can be a pain in the a$$!

Serene, that is quite embarrassing. To get somewhere and realize you don't have money. Been there....done that!!!

Toni, let me know when you get that pumpkin pie!!! Me...I love the sweet potatoes that are plenty this time of the year.

Good day to everyone. Know you are missed!!!!

Hey, Moonie. Missed you while I was trying to post!! Good to "see" you checking in!!!
