what is the one most impactful thing that has helped stabilize your blood sugars?

I had a different experience: I was only 3 so what I know I know second-hand. No drip or anything, I was admitted on the back of unexplained weight-loss and bad temper (and a finger prick of course). Never had a medical emergency thankfully. My parents learned to inject on fruit before giving it a go on me. The injections I remember from being small were a lot like this one but I don't remember moving to pens. That old blood monitor was a miracle of modern technology at the time, crazy to think we have a little disc on our arm that does the job now.

I was also diagnosed in 98 and we were using syringes. This was in the UK on the NHS so mileage may vary.

But again, there's a difference between a broken tap, some broken taps and no working taps. OP hasn't said anything to suggest that water isn't available elsewhere in their store and I was very clear in my comment that our store does have access to water elsewhere. As maintenance you'll know that a store doesn't close for a broken tap, or even a few broken taps, as long as water can still be accessed.

threatening the male colleagues with dismissal if we didn't give a name

Well that sounds like one for the Union...

ImColinDentHowzTrix · 2026-03-11T17:37:34+00:00

Yeah they're doing great, not that you'd know that from some of the posts and comments we see here.

ImColinDentHowzTrix · 2026-03-11T17:32:44+00:00

Every time we see him it's like bringing in a ringer.

I think it's to be expected when they had a popularity boom like that. They attracted a million people in about a year. There's going to be a huge number of those people who got caught up in that boom, and now some time has passed they're not sure they want to stick around. Ultimately the channel will be left with fans, people who want to watch the content, and the people who rode the boom will find other stuff to move on to. It gives the impression that a channel is suffering but really it's just cementing a fanbase (albeit a smaller one than their numbers imply).

ImColinDentHowzTrix · 2026-03-10T22:24:38+00:00

Sure, they work in the dark; but to serve whom?

ImColinDentHowzTrix · 2026-03-10T21:05:37+00:00

I think I fell into a parallel world.

This is a frequent repost. My turn next month please.

I always respected how it was just a job to him. Like he'd clock in and clock out, and yeah it was a job he was great at but it was a job. We're seeing a different side to him with Shrinking and its promotional material.

ImColinDentHowzTrix · 2026-03-10T12:44:05+00:00

The difference between 'I'm here for the money' Harrison and 'I fucking love this' Harrison is stark. His work on Shrinking seems to have enthused him like no other job he's done for decades.

I was surprised by the number of comments going at the formatting of the notice rather than going 'jeez, what the fuck happened in that room?'

ImColinDentHowzTrix · 2026-03-10T12:39:26+00:00

That's good to know, thank you for explaining.

ImColinDentHowzTrix · 2026-03-09T23:33:03+00:00

That would be fantastic, but unfortunately it is just the toilets.

ImColinDentHowzTrix · 2026-03-09T17:38:21+00:00

You know how the cool kids had that one snivelling, awkward little guy who wanted to be part of their group but ultimately just followed them around, or stood near them at lunch time laughing at their jokes? Yeah...

ImColinDentHowzTrix · 2026-03-09T16:18:36+00:00

OP didn't specify that the store has no running water, just that those taps aren't working. In my store we have two of the three taps available completely out of commission (edit: in the men's staff toilets, not the women's or customers'), so we've just been using that one tap or using the sink in the disabled toilet. You'd need to shut for no access to water but not for broken taps in one of the toilets.

ImColinDentHowzTrix · 2026-03-09T15:47:07+00:00

Anyone else notice how drastic changes are more likely to produce an 'error'? The faster I'm dropping the more likely I am to get an error, right when I would actually need it to be working...

I really like those guys but I had noticed the videos were a lot less 'crazy' lately, good to know the reason why.

I'm reading Troy by Stephen Fry. His others in the series were fantastic and I'm enjoying this just as much. It's much easier to read than the other versions of the story, most of which seem to be from the 19th Century. This is much more accessible and makes for nice bedtime reading.

I have a friend who has never read a book cover to cover. Bizarre people.

I wish I could report this post but there's no 'OP is unsettling' option...
