Max is written in java... Since it's quite new it uses java 1.6, which is NOT supported by OS 10.4, so if it runs on 10.5, then it will also run on 10.6. If you manage to get java 1.6 for OS 10.4, then it will run there too, but I…"

Calling all St. Louis area PWD's!

I need my friends to help me out on this one. This would be a perfect opportunity for all the St. Louis area diabetics or PWD to get involved personally in advocacy and diabetes awareness.
Thanks to Kaycee Connell, the St. Louis diabetes Examiner, I found out about this free program. It just so happens that my endo, Dr. Garry Tobin, also promoted this program to me in May when I went for my twice a year check up.

Hi all:
Just letting you know that my dear father-in-law, Walter Proehl, lost his fight with diabetes this afternoon (Monday).
He had another major cardiac arrest Sunday evening, and his body just couldn't hold out any longer.
I know many of you prayed for him and prayed with me while we went through this long 90 day journey to find out if he could recover from 30 years of poorly managed T2 diabetes.
We know now that we have another fellow diabetic up… Continue

I just posted this on my blog.
An update I've sent to friends:
I'm hoping to download a song that he and Yvonne first danced to - in order to stimulate something - we know he's listening and looking. Then I'm taking the kids up there after Joe gets home from Jack's soccer game. Joe's mom, Yvonne, and his sisters, Mary and Terri, are there at the hospital now.
We take turns and shifts.… Continue

Paying for Carb Overload Last Night
Posted on January 28, 2009 at 7:54am 3 Comments 0 Likes
So, because of the snow day, I ordered pizza. Now, I can't have - really AT ALL - my favorite Chicago-style thick crust pizza that I love so dearly. So instead, I order one of our local pizzerias, one of our favorites, Cecil Whittaker's. It's very thin crust, and usually, it doesn't affect my BS in the way I'll pay for it later.
So after I've been on the Byetta, I'm thinking, wow - I feel good today, I can eat some more pizza (more than my allotted two pieces), and I do. Combined… Continue

I know it's been a long time. I find it hard to make myself go up to the 4th floor to use their antiquated computer. It's uncomfortable both ergonomonically and for my disability. I hate it herre. They keep putting regulations on me every time I turn around. Can't do this, can't do that. Can't go here, can't to anywhere. No money and nowhere to spend it! Now, does that answer your questions? Ssssssccccrrrrreeeeeaaaammm!
Sorry, I've lost that positive attitude. I seem to have lost a lot of friends here, too. Siiiiiiiggggggggghhhhh!

MyHotComments Don't you DARE eat those!! Just for admiration and drooling!
I know I am early with these greetings, but I am in a rehab after a below-the-knee amputation and don't always have energy to hit the internet. So I chose my time well.
Hope it will be an absolutely maaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrvelous day honey pie!! Now with all this sugar, you'd better go check your levels!!!
