There are cockroaches in Mexico big enough to own property.

speaking as a person with diabetes,

That's interesting, beth. My dad's internist basically told him he could have bread and pasta or he could be on insulin.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

If you watch The Unusuals, turn on the sub-titles, there are some of Dispatch's comments there that aren't in the audio. Funny stuff.

I once has a 90 day cycle. That was nice. And then my body decided I was in prime childbearing years and now it is annoying to be like everyone else.

I killed a roach in my kitchen. lisah, I don't care what you call them, but if they are the size of your pinky last knuckle, skittery in the light and brown and crunchy, it's a fucking roach. DO NOT WANT. Time to bring out the nukes. I'm sure it came in from the basement and up through the plumbing openings into the kitchen. That door is not weathertight. It was not thrilled when I turned on the light. Nor was I.

ACKACKACK. Seriously, I have major roach issues. I may set fire to my foundation.

Spent the last 2 hours writing a 5 page letter to my aunt and uncle without internet, including 67 pictures. My uncle is thrilled beyond words that I bought a house, he's a former GC, so lots of details and all the warts, just for him.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Speaking of Michael Pollen, doesn't he have a new book out?

I have committed online purchases. I feel so... so... guilty! When did spending money become so guilt-ridden? I mean, both items were on sale... and yet? I feel like I shouldn't buy things for myself.

When did I become a freak?

And more importantly, can I repress it long enough to buy myself some new shoes? My shoes are falling apart.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I felt crazy in my head when my body went to a 21 day cycle. On BC at least I know when my 2-3 of craziheaded days will be.

Given I get a week of things hurting followed by a couple days or more of Teh Craxy, I really miss 90 days. When I was on prescribed hormones in HS, I was really a nutcase for something like half the time, but didn't know it until I went off them.

Because books.

Mine's been 24ish days forever, and I hate it. I want to get myself fixed in the worst way.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh ugh, Sara. Nightmare!

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

My dad's internist basically told him he could have bread and pasta or he could be on insulin.

Seriously, it depends on how your body reacts ---every body is different. though it has been awhile, I watched my bs very carefully. I eat less berad and pasta and smaller servings-- and at home it is all high fiber and whole grain.

But I also know me, saying never again-- means that is the only thing I eat.

And as my friend R and I say -- if you are going to eat cake -- do it for breakfast!

The roach or the HS hormone hell?
