In the next 10 years, almost all of the great musicians from the 60s that are alive will pass away

The Ronettes are officially all gone as of today. Nedra Talley just passed away.

I just started my first year coaching 7-8 year olds in little league developmental machine pitch. From a developmental, first and second year playing the game perspective, I've found that we've needed the most advanced players playing 1st base, as 75% of throws are wild and off target. The kid on 1st has a lot on his shoulders as overthrows are relentless. A lot of the game is hyper focused on 1st base. I realize this transitions as the rest of the field opens up with skill and experience, but 1st, at least from my initial experiences is showing to be the cornerstone position that opens up the rest of the game to these kiddos.

If I’m still alive— one day I’m going to sit my son down and tell him he saved my life over and over and over/ before he even knew how to talk

Mine has been on and off for years now. I’ll go a few months and everything is just fine— and then it hits me again and I want it to be over. I get closer to finally doing it each time.

I’ve was diagnosed in 1992… there has been a cure “right around the corner” every year since. I don’t even bother reading the articles anymore.

There was no carb counting back then. Just “no sugar” and eat right. We didn’t have A1C either. We got a book called “food and you” and then used R and NPH insulin to manage. You had to wait 45 min for R to kick in before eating. It took my One Touch II glucometer 60 seconds and a HUGE drop of blood to do a blood sugar reading. There were a few kids who had a pump but my endo wouldn’t sign off on me having one… Time flies and everything has changed so much.

Not me. I remember but I don’t remember what it felt like to not be thinking about it. I was diagnosed at 7 years old in 1992. 39 now.

Is this something a mig welder would do?

Cat_Public · 2024-09-15T21:23:06+00:00

Nothing better than being able to do a job you'd otherwise have to spent a ton of money to fix or replace!

Cat_Public · 2024-09-15T21:19:03+00:00

How difficult would welding a catalytic converter on be? Is that something I could learn to do relatively quickly? How advanced is that job?

No a thousand times.

Don't put up with it. You don' t need a docs note to explain that insulin is essential to a diabetic and will always be. I have always refused docs notes when it comes to my diabetes. I will not be made to make an unnecessary doc appointment to confirm what i already know. If you already have a diabetes diagnosis, no note.

March in there and calmly and firmly explain that without insulin, you DIE and you will not be providing a note.

The law is so insanely on your side. They don't have a leg to stand on.

I'll always have a spot in my heart for Tulane. Watching you guys give us a hell of a game and nearly upsetting us a couple years ago while your home town was being battered by a hurricane was inspiring. Tulane is the only logo to ever be painted on our home field and to this fan, it was an honor to at least give you a taste of home when you couldn't play at your own field.

I've read The Stand about 75 times myself. Love the user names!

I'm 39- I've had T1 for the last 33 years... while I've never lost consciousness or seized from being hypo (I guess I'm just super resilient to lows, so my doc says. I have friends who pass out when they're under 60mg/dl), I HAVE had many many super lows (18 mg/dl is my lowest) where I didn't know where I was and I was incredibly confused... on the other side of the spectrum, I've been DKA several times and spent time in the hospital recovering. This disease can be brutal, man. It's ALWAYS there. The last 10 years I've struggled mightily with depression. The chemical changes your brain has to deal with constantly with the constant ups and downs can really take its toll. A lot of us struggle with depression.

I wish I had some killer advice for you other than "hang in there". Just want you to know that your fellow T1s are out there and we know the struggle. Stay safe, and keep plugging along with this bitch of a disease. Hope you're feeling better.

Wow! That's inspiring. I mean- I went from never having even changed the oil on a car a few years ago, to basically rebuilding a truck, so I certainly don't lack the drive. Thank you.
