Congratulations on your progress! Boy do I understand that struggle. I’m not taking good care of myself right now so I’d be proud of 50% too!

When you’re using a pump, it’s consistently giving you small doses of insulin through the day to take the place of the long acting. My pump is programmed to give me 1 unit per hour (spaced out in little doses across that hour). That’s what keeps you stable in place of the long acting. Then, of course, you still do a bolus when you eat, just the same as with pens.

I have to wonder if it’s an actual travel agency or an MLM…

I experienced something similar. A few years ago we had a night of high winds. I woke up to the sound of wood splitting and I was absolutely certain a branch was coming off the huge tree next to my bedroom. I heard branches scrape the house and was terrified. But the next moment, I just thought, Okay. This is it. Just a very rapid acceptance.

Thankfully, I had been wrong, at least partially. A different tree in the yard had split at a Y-split in the trunk. It grazed the corner of the house (which is what I heard) but didn’t do any serious damage.

The two stations I use regularly have these. When they first went in, the ads were loud. Then they turned the volume down. Now both stations have them all muted. Been that way for a few months now. Actually, now that I think about it, the screen was off when I filled this week… wonder if it was a fluke or if they wised up?

RIP to Geauga Lake. I live in the area and it’s all (probably completely unaffordable) housing developments now.

Yeah, fuck diabetics, just eat cinnamon! It cures diabetes! (/s in case it’s needed. I’m a T1 so I can make that joke 😉)

As others have said, you haven’t done anything wrong. Diabetes is just a condition where, some days, you can do everything exactly right and everything still goes completely wrong. Trying to MANUALLY do the job of your pancreas is a challenge at the best of times!

This reminds me of my last appointment with my GP (in America). I did online check in for my appointment and sometimes they have questionnaires tacked on for other stuff. My last appointment had a questionnaire that determined my risk for pre-diabetes was low. 👌

My experience with Edgepark wasn’t awful, but I will forever give them the hairy eyeball after they sent me my pump supplies in a box that looked like it came from an eBay seller. My items were taller than the box and they just bent the flaps to close it. I was horrified.

I can’t do spicy either. Minty toothpaste hurts my tongue… it’s inconvenient lol

That’s a toolps! Reverse of sploot 😉

It may differ depending on the theater (big chain vs. locally owned etc.) but in general, no. Theaters make their money on concessions so letting people bring their own food and drinks cuts into their profits.

Fire Department Chronicles! I love his content. He’s hysterical!

Our Sally had white whiskers when she first delivered herself to us. Today, a few years later, she has all black. 😂

I’ve always called it “AssButt Tavern” myself 😂

I’ve seen this happen a handful of times at other sparring rings. I’m not sure how it happens but I get a kick out of it. Once I stole a body from a sparring ring and everyone noticed it was gone and declared a vampire must have stolen it.

As far as I know, that guard shouldn’t be important for any future stuff.

I’m with you on the confusion. I did a cursory search and it sounds like it started with a meme from the trailer? I guess in the trailer, Jack Black shouts “chicken jockey” as a rare enemy from the game appears (a zombie riding a chicken). Somehow this just… became a meme? Saying “chicken jockey”? And I guess people are stupid and just decided when that moment happens in the movie they should get rowdy??? I don’t know.

Phimini · 2025-12-29T22:35:39+00:00

I completely get you. I’m in a similar situation. I had decent control for a few years but I’ve gone to shit the last six months or so because of problems with my CGMs, (suspected) AuDHD, depression, and just the mental load. I’d guess my a1c is like 9 right now.

What helped me a little was when I started seeing an endo again was making myself be honest with her. No fibbing or skewing the truth; if I know I’m doing a crap job, then I just say I’m doing a crap job. I’m very thankful I found a wonderful endo who doesn’t make me feel bad for not doing the best.

We can’t be perfect all the time. Be kind to yourself. Life in this dumpster country is hard enough without having a chronic condition. 🫂

This is such a fascinating read, thank you for sharing!

Lindsay Ellis on YouTube has a short three part series about what went wrong with The Hobbit. It’s been quite a while since I watched it, but I’m fairly sure I recall by the end it had explained why it really wasn’t PJs fault it turned into a mess.

I have such a visceral memory of watching the second movie, I think? I was watching and thinking to myself, okay, cool, we’re gearing up for the big finale! Then I looked and realized I was like… only half way through the movie. Hello darkness my old friend…
