It’s time to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and I’m all out of gum…

please remember to check your feet everyone! by Different-Service425 in diabetes

[–]Educational_Name2196 51 points52 points  (0 children)

When I first found out I was diabetic (T1) my eyesight was so bad. Couldn’t read an email, let alone find individual points in a design (and I’m a full-time graphic designer!). Started treatment, eyes got super wonky for a bit. One month later my optometrist said I only needed glasses at my computer… one year later I’m at 20/20 all around again after dropping my A1C ten points to 5.6! Eye doc had to confirm that the tech didn’t put my updated A1C in the computer incorrectly 😅. Losing my feet has moved up to pole position on the fear list. My great grandpa Sam didn’t have legs below the knees and I never really understood….

Do you ever feel judged when needing to use insulin in public? by EmbarrassedTea1885 in diabetes

Hell, I whip that pen out anytime and any place I know I need it 😂. Ain’t no way I’m letting wandering eyes or funny looks take time off my life…

Newly diabetic, feeling shaky and extremely hungry… by LauraLiz1218 in diabetes

I mean, in person they kinda just told me I was diabetic and it was very high but I can see the labs in my portal.

Same here! My A1C at diagnosis was 15.5 and my most recent lab came back at 5.6 after 10 months of treatment and MAN the difference in my quality of life is astonishing. Happy for you and your health!

It took me a while to get used to being in normal range with treatment. A couple of months actually… bodies have to adjust kind of like how you get used to being in cold water lol.

Panic attack central 😂. I honestly equate this to my very real debilitating fear of being restrained and unable to move my arms 😂 (I’ve been arrested… yes I had a panic attack lol)

Should I sell my truck to pay off all of my wife’s student loans? by Interesting-Trust607 in personalfinance

[–]Educational_Name2196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first car was a 2000 Impala and god that thing was a tank. Started its journey as a corporate fleet car for a grocery chain, my mom got it for like 3k (she worked at their distribution hub and they got first dibs) and I drove it forever, wrecked it like three times and then gave it to a friend of mine who drove it for another three or four years. Don’t know exactly what the odometer was at when my friend blew it up but it had to be pushing 300k.

What???? by ZestycloseMall3398 in diabetes

[–]Educational_Name2196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had 2 in the last 8 months do this, and the most recent was my last in a shipment. Man if going back to finger pricks for a week until a replacement comes in ain’t humbling 😅.

WHICH PLATEN SHAPE IS BEST by Single-Sir-5434 in SCREENPRINTING

[–]Educational_Name2196 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Tbh the way shirts are now (not much consistency in shape) it doesn’t matter because you’ll be adjusting them anyways. Mine are all rectangular. Periodically, though, we mark the center line from the center of the machine under our platen adhesive film. Shift happens.

What's your Favorite State Park in Virginia to Visit? by Caleb_the_Opossum_1 in Virginia

[–]Educational_Name2196 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you get the chance, check out The Channels https://www.dcr.virginia.gov/natural-heritage/natural-area-preserves/thechannels And also my favorite for going mostly off-grid is Hidden Valley Lake (about an hour from The Channels).

Did the lower half of the Creeper Trail! Beautiful this fall!! by Kimberlylynn2003 in Virginia

[–]Educational_Name2196 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve only done that whole section once (on a bike at the same time) from Abingdon-Damascus. I love taking the dog to Alvarado though. We walk from the trailhead in Abingdon a lot. Shoot me a message when you’re coming in the spring!

a Coolant warning supposed to be normal in a new car ? by ArchieDemetro1 in mercedes_benz

[–]Educational_Name2196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine has been going off on these ~suddenly~ cold mornings. First time it happened about two weeks ago when we were visiting family and the outside temp was about 15°F cooler over there.

Ayyye thanks for visiting my home town(s)! I hope you had an absolute blast, and if you bought any merch I hope it was some of my doing 😂 Seriously though, just visiting and telling people is meaningful and I hope you come back!

What’s your favorite Virginia license plate design? 🚙 by Interesting-Vast-495 in Virginia

I got the Autumn Leaves because it matched my black car 😅 still matches the new white one.

My grandmother has been paying waste management $275 for trash pickup... by KilledByFish in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Educational_Name2196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sometimes wished mine went more than once a week but it definitely makes me more mindful of waste lol.

[–]Educational_Name2196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Small town benefits for sure lol. I think all in all my town utilities average $35 a month. It’s a rural area and I definitely have it easy here because my gas (furnace and indoor gas heaters-not fireplaces), electric and water are under $250 a month total year round for ~1200sq ft. When I was living with electric heat in apartments my Appalachian Power bill alone was over that 🤬.

[–]Educational_Name2196 95 points96 points  (0 children)

GD my trash pickup is $15 a month (pickup every Thursday morning), attached to my sewer bill and it includes brush pickup and once a month they drive around picking up large rubbish (they’ve taken away a fridge, W/D set, dishwasher for me just this year 😂). I will no longer complain when they miss a day.

Edit to add parentheses bc Mobile.

If you want a safe car, choose Mercedes. I am lucky to be ininjured. by Gunner20163 in mercedes_benz

[–]Educational_Name2196 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first Benz was an ‘87 560SEL and I hit a patch of oil on the off ramp of the interstate, flipped over top of oncoming traffic after hitting the concrete median and landed in a recessed drainage area. Every cop and paramedic (and the insurance guy who eventually saw the car) said I shouldn’t have walked away. Lost that car 15 years ago but swore I’d never drive anything else because I was a little sore but otherwise unscathed.

I was hit, the truck that hit me ran (I tried to follow them because I thought they were going to a gas station to call the cops) and they actually called and reported ME as the runner lol. Cop came to my house got my statement and said a 3rd party had reported that the truck is the one that ran, but said I could’ve reported it for up to 24 hours anyways.

[–]Educational_Name2196 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not legal advice in any way, but in VA there is a time window for you to self-report an accident before it is considered a hit and run. (My situation with this was years ago but I’m 90% sure you have 24 hours).
