Hi Sarah! August is a whacky month for most of us. Behind on bills because of both vehicals in the shop one time or the other. We're in one vehical for now which has no a/c. Spent 500 dollars on the light bill today, there goes some of our meds for me and my husband whose diabetic also. We'll have to wait till next week.

Good news is my business is picking up, I clean residential and make readys on the side. It's just me and hubby and daughter in law doing the work. Haven't really hired anyone because we need the money to come into the household and supporting my mother and my husband's father.

I really need to find some time to start writing my book. It seems the day goes by so fast and you wonder what did you do. LOL Anyways, hope you are doing great and maybe I can go with you to a convention or something thru the Tudiabetes. Cool, huh!

Hoorah!! Great news. Hopefully you will enjoy this proposal writing more :)

Progress here is really slow. I wanted to write the next chapter this "summer", but suddenly the summer is almost over and I'm still just reading. No writing yet-- SOON!! ;)

Best wishes on your 'new' adventure!

Hi, Sarah! How's things going?

Hey Sarah - that purple ultra mini would be awesome! Shoot me an e-mail at LiebowitzE10@darden.virginia.edu and I'll send you a check for shipping!!!!

Sounds interesting as well! I hope that you are able to find something doable that your supervisory team also supports! I know it's not easy...

My income data is from the Luxembourg Income Study.

I'm using household income survey (produced by official statistical offices in each country-- and standardized by international researchers) and different authors "data" on political party systems (placing political parties on different scales).

But my primary methodology is actually just comparative case studies (comparing 3 policy areas in 4 countries). There is less pressure to use statistical methods in Europe. Are you expecting to have numerical data for statistical analysis... or is the missing data rather just mean missing empirical evidence?

My brother went to Hope College... So I've been in Holland many times! Your project sounds interesting!! Hope that you are able to find a new direction there that can re-motivate you. Progress always come in plateaus, I think. But the time that you spend on the flat part is frustrating, but (I believe) necessary for making the next jump. I just spent a long time on a plateau!

Keep me posted!

Commiseration sounds great :)

Yes I sometimes read phdcomics, but I try to avoid it because I'm very prone to procrastination (if you need proof, check my TuDiabetes activity!!!)

What are you thinking of changing your topic to?

I'm writing about how political party systems influence redistributional effects of welfare states in CEE. I'm in my 3rd year and really hoping to finish in 1-2 years, but it is all a pipe dream for now!

Thanks a bunch I will check it out.

HI, have you ever noticed the way that IOB affects your control?
It's interesting that cozmo has a linear formula and animas is curvilenear. Curvilinear is supposed to be more like the bodies response. Thanks! I have noticed, from years of MDI, more difference in the way long term insulin is metabolized. Itll be intersting to get into more detail with the humalog.
