elaine peterson commented on Mathew's group 'OmniPod Users'"Seems like a viable idea. I might have been the last of us to switch to a 2nd gen PDM and I notice that the batteries don't last as long as with my old one.

elaine peterson commented on Mathew's group 'OmniPod Users'"Yikes, BennyL! That would not be a fun thing to deal with regularly. VaMike....I use Nexcare flexible clear tape to hold it down if the pod looks like it might want to detach. In a pinch, a bandaid or two will work. Don't be too nervous. I have…"

Hi

Sorry...I am not shy, I just have no clue how to post a photo. This is my dear departed greyhound from an old file. I was diagnosed with type 1, 3 years ago at 50. People wondered how I got "adult onset diabetes" while living such a healthy lifestyle. Hmmm......shows you how uninformed the lucky, general public is.

LOL! Our dogs (yes dogs) sleep with us. For a bit there both the chawas (I know sp) took up my side of the bed and REFUSED to let me sleep on my side. They only wanted their dad to sleep with them. The nuts growled ( yes growled) if I tried to sleep on my side soo the couch was my place til I knocked the crap out of both of them (and my husband) to get my side back now they sleep inbetween us but on the nights my g-daughters or g-son stay with us they reluctanly give up the middle for them LOL!

We're doing fine. How's things with u? It took me about 8 years to get mine gone so that means from 40-48. Hey at the 1st of this year I finally quit throwing the cover off me. Then after a hot flash grabbing them back up b/c I was freezing. LOL!

Your comment brings to mind a cute saying I saw years ago where I worked. "If I am expected to soar with eagles, how come I work with a bunch of turkeys!" lol
Right now I am getting tired of flapping my arms and need to rest. Soaring is hard because people see you and then that's all they want to see you do. I really am nothing but a big bowl of jello on the inside. I don't know where I get this strength that everyone keeps crediting me with!
Well, better buzz off. Too many messages to answer.
Love ya,
Lois
