I understand. We can still be friends.

The party, so far, sounds absolutely yummy, vw.

{{{Cindy}}} I don't have panic attacks, but I know someone who does. It sounds awful, and I wish I could do something other shake a wee fist at the universe for you.

{{{Kristin}}} Because you are always so helpful and so concerned and willing to share. Has anyone ever told you you're a sweetie? And a hot one to boot?

Daniel, I sympathize -- when we were without insurance at one point, I discovered my diabetes meds are $200 a month. Yikes. Sincerely hoping yours are more affordable, and the insurance situation doesn't last long.

I bought a new red bag at Target for $11 on clearance, and it may be my One True Bag. I'm hopeful. It's very pretty.

Timelies. Have skipped and skimmed, though I did click on some unfortunately links. DH did not seem to find the humor in the feathered butt plug...alas.

{{{}}}} to them that needs, chocolate and glitter for all.

Probably, but it can't be said enough.

It's so cold.

Thanks. Currently I have Avandia, and a water pill, and testing supplies. The testing strips alone are about $85/month. Avandia is about $100/month and hydrochlorothiazide is a cheap $7/month. Add in a couple of my supplements and it rounds out to approximately $200/mo.

I can probably shave some of that by 10%-20% online, but Wal-Mart prices are pretty competitive.

ETA: and of course, lab tests, and finding a new doctor, as my old one left the clinic last month.

Gah! I forgot about them. (I'm not as good about testing as I should be, but I did it four times a day when I was pregnant and on insulin.) I've seen those ads on TV for diabetic testing supplies via mail, but I've never investigated them. Good look finding a new doctor, too -- it's always tough for me to find someone I like enough to stick with long-term.

Thanks. I just wish I know what happened to my old doctor. He was well liked and no one seems to know if he went back to Canada or what.

All I know is I got a letter saying that he was no longer with the clinic and i should call and get a new primary physician.

It's a fucking expensive disease. Blood pressure meds are cheap.

Hi Lexine! How is school going?

You know what's dangerous? Going to a mall that has a VS right after this morning's discussion when VS is having their semi-annual sale.

On the other hand, I have pretty new bras and undies.

I also finally bought the ipod that was my Christmas present from my parents, and a pink leather case to go with it, which wasn't.

I just spent a big damn chunk of change getting my car tuned up (tires rotated, oil changed, transmission flushed and filled, all kinds of filters replaced) and new front brake pads. Man, basic maintenance is 'spensive.

I see I missed the sex toy links last night. Bummer. (I have several of the books on that Web site. 11, to be exact. Good bedtime [ahem] reading.)

I never really thought it looked all that flowerlike. If I want to look at an orchid, I'll go to a nursery.

When meara was here, lo these many years ago, we went to the "adult bookstore" around the corner from my house, and there was a book consisting solely of pictures of goolies. Gotta say, what they most resemble to *me* are ears.
