What have you done when low, that you shouldn't have...drive, ride a motorcycle, ...what?
I sometimes look back and wonder how I have survived some of my own decisions. I think sparring in karate while in the 40's or 50's was not too bright. Or standing at the top of the mountain and pointing my skiis downhill while extremely low wasn't the brightest thing either. Life seems to happen around us and sometimes you just try to keep up with it and others.....no matter what. ......anyone else wanna share their brilliant decisions?
Keep going......Peace, Bob
p.s. I was honored to have a nice article in The Florida Times Union this morning....you can see it at my blog....joyofdiabetes.blogspot.com

Bob the dumbest thing I ever done when low and knew it (no warning system now) was to drive my car not only once but 4 times trying to get home to out run the low! Wreaked EVERYTIME b/c I would hit the low 30's or even the low 20's and still thought I had time to get home to get something to eat! And that was with my dumb butt passing up about 5 stores just to get home and eat! That was of course before I got any common sence! HA!!

......well, I don't think I have a bad temper but I can get really p-o'd about stuff. That night I was probably throwing a tantrum saying "I want to go home right now and I'm not gonn wait.........so there".

That sounds JUST like me! HA! Did I forget to tell ya' the one about passing out in a Kroger Chain store in the cereal ilse? Now that one was really stupid all I would have had to do was just grab some of that really sweat kids cereal and I would have been ok but no I had to pass out while alone during my valued time alone while shopping for groceries! Not to meation food everywhere to start with! HA!!! I had a seizure, foming at the mouth like I had rabies and all! You should have seen all the manijors and employees surrounding the paramedics. I know, not funny to all the others (or even me) at time but totally funny after it all happened. I even got a free twole out of Kroger at the time and they were about 6 or 7 dollars. Of course I'm talking way back in the early 90's or late 80's!!! HA!!!!

Well I attempted a ski run down a mountain... my husband noticed I was confused (and a bit argumentative) so the ski patrol came- and they were VERY cute- and they took me down the mountain in one of those ski baskets. And they gave me some glucose so when I got down the mountain I was fine. And the ride was FANTASTIC!

This last week I was typing a $30,000 proposal and I kept reading the numbers like 6 times...nothing was making sense. I went into one of those blank stares looking at the math. It is always a good idea to recheck the math because someone would have gotten a really good or a really bad deal!!!! Why yes, I can make 2+2=5...
Wishing you more.............Cheers, Bob

Let's see...something I shouldn't have done while low....hmmmm...that's an easy one.
One word.
Foreplay.
More embarrassment than danger.
"I think I can, I think I can. You know what...maybe I can't"
