tmana replied to Khürt Williams's discussion 'Diabetes and Job interviews'"Join the real world. Apparently the state laws requiring meal breaks (or ANY breaks) during the day have been rescinded for those over 18 years, and employment is "at will" -- so if you're not willing to compromise on hectic and…"

My solution is a neoprene digital camera case that can fit my Freestyle Lite meter and lancing device, a vial of strips, my basic ID (state ID, one or two bank/credit cards, radio license), and a few dollars…"

tmana replied to foxmeister's discussion 'end of special diabetic meals on airlines?' in the group The 5 Club"I might ask about the Japanese meals. Other cultures think nothing of having meats and fishes, rather than carbs, for breakfast. You may find it more acceptable."
tmana commented on Phil Southerland's group 'Team Type 2'"There's an occasional person who shows up at an event in TT2 kit, but I'm not sure there's been a specific event since the 2010 RAAM. TT2 still exists under TT1's new organization (Team Novo Nordisk), but there's not much…"

The Strength of Judith
Posted on December 17, 2009 at 10:10am 6 Comments 0 Likes
While not part of the Tanakh (Jewish version of the Old Testament), the tale of Judith and Holofernes is associated with Chanukah. The short version of the tale is that Judith, a Jewish widow, meets the (unwanted) sexual advances of Holofernes, a Greek general (and in the context of the Chanukah story, one of the enemy leaders) by inviting him to dinner and feeding him very salty foods -- such as cheese --… Continue
Rolling My Own... cycling clothes?
Posted on December 1, 2009 at 8:35am 0 Comments 0 Likes
While I don't consider myself a "serious enough" cyclist for real cycling clothing (aka "spandex striders", "lycra louts", etc.), it's hard to argue with its functionality. Cleats give me a 360-degree stroke; close-fit spandex means the legs don't interfere with that stroke, my pants don't get caught in the chain, and I can (in theory) access tissues, a map, or a cellphone mid-ride. I could argue that with the Dolce, these garments are a… Continue
Thanksgiving Meme
Posted on November 26, 2009 at 5:00am 0 Comments 0 Likes
I've seen this meme popping up around the Internet, figured I'd give it a try...
1. What are the traditional favorites?
Turkey, stuffing, gravy, candied yams, cranberry sauce
2. What new recipes will you try this year?
Used a different recipe for whole wheat bread than I have in the past.
3. What part of the meal do you never compromise?
Turkey and stuffing. Has to be there, or it's not Thanksgiving. And sweet potatoes… Continue

Hard to say "Goodbye"... to a "Steel Horse"
Posted on October 11, 2009 at 5:51am 1 Comment 0 Likes
On July 19, 2009, the minor frame damage that my 1981 19" Lotus Excelle mixte bicycle withstood early in its life progressed to the point of making the vehicle unrideable. On July 25, I purchased a 2008 Specialized Dolce 44cm to replace it. The following week, I upgraded from cage clips to a clipless cleat system. Shortly after, the Excelle was placed in storage, with the thought of stripping it for parts, and/or selling it for parts. (As it turns out, I can't use parts from that bicycle on… Continue

Oh my goodness Brenda. I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your mom.
My deepest heartfelt condolences. I lost my mom 20 years ago, and it is still felt. Do you have family with you?

catlover said… Tmana- Condolences on the loss of your mother. I hope she didn't suffer before G-d took her. I lost my mother last year ( oh ! yes ! 2 years ago) in 2010. It is always a sad time when we lose a parent. I wish you comfort as you mourn.

PatientX said… - good luck on your ride. I think for me the anticipation of possible lows was worse than the ride it self. I managed to stay at a good 120 average throughout the ride by drinking G2 from gatorade. Half the amount of carbs than the other stuff. Have fun and update us on how the ride went.
