Maria. I'm so sorry. Fuck cancer with a chainsaw.
Whatever you need, you got. You need to bitch, you need to cry, you need to rage...
Got your back.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Maria, I'm sorry. If you need to rant and wail, I'm in the area.

Dear Powers That Be,
Knock it the FUCK off. Stop treating my people (and me) so poorly right now.

So, should I post some vague (because I can't talk about all the details yet) good news?

le nubian - Sorry about the diabetes diagnosis. This is common in my family including all 3 of my siblings. There should be plenty of good diet sites available but the 2 hints I would suggest are little frequent meals and remember that pasta and bread are sugar in disguise. The people I know that are most successful in controlling it are thin, so apparently weight control is a big help. Best of luck to you. I know lots of people that keep it under control and expect that you can too.
I am in Otter Lake for the summer, which should provide more time, and yet is hasn't. Bobby is with me with good intentions for house projects being completed. Brandy is with me enjoying the woods, and building my muscles as she has to be carried up and down stairs. Mom's 90th is in 3 weeks and I am looking forward to near and extended family gathering to celebrate. The days, months, years fly by.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Oh hell yes, Jilli. Please.
Ginger, Erin, Todd, and Laura continue to prove the awesomeness of Buffista backup. Thank you.

Jilli, yes please share your good news!

Sooo, that Super Secret Project I've been alluding to, and was in Portland over the weekend for? I've been hired as a consultant for an indie movie. I'm being paid to be a professional Goth. And there is a very good chance I will end up as an Associate Producer for it; my agent and the movie people are working out contract details.
Of course, I keep swinging back and forth between "This is totally awesome! Go me!" and "I have tricked people into believing I know what I'm doing, ohshit." I'm trying to pay more attention to the first part.

Laura,
thank you. I LOVE bread and pasta, so I am doomed. I think I'll search for some whole grain breads and pastas, look at the nutritional info and decide if it is worth it to eat it. My sugar has fallen quite a bit through my own machinations in 2 days, so I am hopeful.
