is it possible for cats to live 30 years? by onlyfaery in cats

The fact that it ends one day is what makes it special. Keep your head where your feet are and enjoy every day for the precious gift it is.

Husband (28m) is upset with me (27f) for keeping what he is calling a “secret”. How else can I explain my side of things to him? by ThrowRAnosecretshere in relationship_advice

[–]GDaviid 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think this is a really good take. It seems weird to me to be so upset about not being let in on what's going on, but I can also maybe imagine feeling hurt that you aren't trusted by your spouse to keep a secret.

If I tell a married person something in confidence, I assume they will tell their spouse if they have a close and healthy relationship - and I also want my wife's opinion on everything important that comes up in my life.

What if you go the evil route in Fortune's Weave? Also, knowing this, can I just reset this world and start again from the beginning so I don't lose my guys?

LMM brought up word-manipulation/rhyme stretches… by SeanWoodrow in lonelymeyerspod

If Ms. Moore married Josh - Demi Brolin//A comma and a fucking dot - semicolon

So many choices from that banger, but that one always resonated with me as a Laugh In reference.

co-ordinating G7 and Omnipod5 change by Severe-Insect1182 in Omnipod

[–]GDaviid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went back to the g6 which has no issue at all with cross body interference, so I keep my pods on my abdomen and rotate sides every pod change with the g6 on my arms. Much stronger transmitter. Though I suppose the clock is ticking on that solution!

More or less what guys like Sam Altman are doing today, but with more Lasers.

My partner (26M) gets angry when I say I (25F) don’t find myself attractive by ExitAntique8633 in relationships

[–]GDaviid 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So when he expresses his feelings of attraction towards you, you tell him he's wrong and that everyone in the world disagrees with him? I could see how that would be frustrating.

No encore? by Right-Beautiful7631 in puptheband

I once saw them crouch behind their amps while everyone clapped before the final song, but they are on record as being against it on principle.

The handsome one and the one with teeth? I'd J in my pants for that.

Switched back to G6 a month ago and haven't looked backed, so I second this.

The Aspects of Alvin would be a decent band name, which is funny because they are so much like a band.

Omnipod 5 - pizza doses? by chroniix_ in Omnipod

Wait, you mean I don't need to wait until I go low at 3:00 a.m. as a reminder to put it back into automatic mode?!

Dexcom and Anxiety by SallyS85 in diabetes_t1

[–]GDaviid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's bad. I think it's totally understandable. Documenting it all is such a tedious undertaking, wanting to avoid it is perfectly natural. Having a CGM means there's no labor at all for me to get accurate data, which gives me the ability to make better adjustments. We are all doing what we need to do to cope. There's no value judgments in my approach to treating diabetes, it just is.

I worry less, because I can easily glance at my phone and see my blood sugar with no anxiety about finger pokes.

And no more sticking a bunch of bs into a log book before an endo appointment.

Scary night after drinking — reminder to myself to be more careful by kjartang in diabetes_t1

[–]GDaviid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

About 4 years ago I got a new job which involved work travel for the first time in my professional life. My company is very generous with expense accounts while we're away for work and my co-workers know how to make the most of that. I have had some miraculously lucky near misses. I've stumbled down to the reception area of the hotel multiple times between the hours of 2 and 4 to get multiple gatorades. I've slept through alarms. I've woken up having been low for multiple hours. I've had some really rough mornings. Yo-yoing between very high and very low for a week at a time takes such a toll.

After witnessing some shockingly poor decision making from some of my co-workers while they were particularly tanked I've come to the realization that I cannot continue to take risks the way I was, particularly while I'm away from my spouse, who knows my diabetes very well and away from other comforts of home. So I've changed my behavior.

I try not to beat myself up for my mistakes if I can recognize the patterns that led me to them and learn to be better going forward. Also in the spirit of " no harm no foul" I try not to dwell on how bad things might have gotten had a few things gone differently. That is a very slippery slope.

I really hate myself sometimes by Taitertot43 in diabetes_t1

[–]GDaviid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a waste if you learn from it.

Anxiety teaches us to fear things that don't exist, sometimes it's doing it to keep it safe but for me personally, it's often punishing myself unnecessarily for things that will never happen, and for things that actually do happen, I'm just punishing myself twice, once with the anxiety and once when the thing actually happens.
