Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2011: Maybe the even years are better  

Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. 2011? Room for improvement. Srsly.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Toddson, on the Diabetes front. It's something that you can live with, trust me. Not knowing is worse than knowing, because you could have screwed up your life.

If you can immediately work on keeping your blood sugars in a normal range, the eye will likely heal better.

I recommend reading up a lot, especially Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution.

The site has excerpts from his books, too.

He's the man who became a doctor at age 45 to get self-testing accepted by the medical community back in the day.

And remember, the Buffistas are all here for you. I know that from experience.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm a little to scattered to do a big yearly sum-up, but I don't wanna let Xmas morning pass without saying I LOVE ALL YOU PEOPLE.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

What amych said!

Also, many, many thanks to my wonderful Secret Santa! I got a gorgeous pink and pewter insulated mug, a rubber ducky tea infuser, and a wonderful assortment of teas and coffees! Thank you so much, Secret Santa! I've already tried the Yule tea, which has orange peel and rose petals and nummy spices. So very, very delicious. What a wonderful way to start the morning.

Aw, Toddson, I'm sorry. Daniel is right, though -- you will probably feel better once you get the whole meds/blood sugar thing going. It's a pain, but it doesn't have to be a huge drama.

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

Tomorrow is usually the day that is hard for mac, but we had a pretty low key day today and all went well. No one had more than 4 gifts to open and I think I have completely bought in to the movement away from a commercialized Christmas. Next year, maybe only one gift each.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Good stuff, msbelle. Glad to hear it. I've been thinking of y'all and wondering how the day went.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

See, this is exactly what I like about my birthday -- it's more of a gradual let-down.
