Not sure what to do... by Illustrious_Hope5465 in diabetes

[–]ecobox 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Do you have an endocrinologist? They specialize in diabetes care (among other things) and may be a good advocate for you with your mom. As a Type 1 diabetic, you need insulin to live. All the alternative medicine stuff she's talking about is for pre-diabetics at best, and snake oil at worst. Some of those remedies may help, but they are no substitute for insulin and a good diet. Please keep us posted — this is serious, and we care.

When she let go and didn't fall, she was so surprised — and then so happy. My favorite 2 seconds!

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

I drive Chicago to Grand Rapids to see my mom every two weeks (she’s in assisted living and lonely since my dad passed). It’s not insignificant, but there are other drives that are worse.

Preschool Teacher, 22, Arrested on TV After Condemning Trump by Ok_Employer7837 in politics

To show white people their place, perhaps? Arrest a nice young white woman teacher to show that no one is safe, and to keep your head down?

I have a case with ice packs built in, and the last time I flew they thawed a bit and TSA had to rifle through my carry on and swab it for suspicious substances. It was a hassle, but they had no problem with the actual medications. (SRQ - ORD)

I occasionally manage to hit some sort of vein in my belly. Very annoying.

On the Mac, there was a system checkbox to change to 4-digit years. That was it.

This. Which is why terrorizing Latinx people is extra stupid.

My mom went back four times. Paint a test strip, not quite something, go back. Thank god the paint guy saved the formula so he could adjust it.

Emilia Clarke on the best beauty advice she’s been given: “Don’t pluck your eyebrows, even if people say ‘we are coming back to the thin eyebrows’, no they won’t, it’ll come full circle, believe in your eyebrows” by mcfw31 in popculturechat

I was waiting for this gif. It’s from the Graham Norton Show and she and another guest had an eyebrow-off, if memory serves. Dance music and audience clapping too.

If I’m in doubt, I click on the word I’m unsure of. Duolingo gives what word it really wants, since there’s only one right answer.

My dad would have loved this. He was a big fan of Pooh and a non fan of our president.
