I was so afraid that it was cancer. I don't remember when they told me it wasn't because I was so drugged up on morphine. It's nice to know someone survived pancreatic cancer, not many do.

Right now just cleaning it twice a day with betadine, and keeping it covered. I am trying to keep any pressure off of the foot. I am sick of crutches.

Ha. The fingerprint team got lost and did not make it to our office today. Bah Humbug. Several people who usually leave early on Fridays had stayed to wait for them, and boy were people mad.

Here's an interesting cover of my two top favorite artists. I usually do not like covers, but this is quite expressive.

Hey Marie - how's it going in your neck of the woods. Any plans for attending any quilting shows in the northeast?

I'm thinking the event at the Morning Show was June 2, though it could have been June 3.

I work at the cbs broadcast center.. I work in the archives dept. if you let me know when they were here I can pull the tape and take a look at it...

Thanks for the comment and the warm welcome. I thought was the only one on the PLANET with a spirit (I am the only one at my dr's office). It is good to find other diabetics with the same celebrations and struggles... Do you know of any NJ stuff, social events, support groups etc for diabetics?

Free Comment Graphics by ShoutPix For the Birthday Wishes!! Just relaxing and eating today.. heheh shhh don't tell anyone! Loved yur latest Quilt Marie! Can't wait to see more! You are so talented!

Marie,
THX for the welcome. Actually I no longer live in Annapolis - after retiring, we sailed away on our sailboat (amazing how that works).

So we are back in the US for about 3 months and then we will return to sailing in the Caribbean - hope to meet lots of cool people like you while here.

Fair Winds,
Mike

Marie - I appreciate your welcome note. Your pictures remind me of the upper-Midwest. I used to live in Minnesota. Great quilts by the way!

HI Marie. Thanks for your response to my fingerprint question. That is one of the things I love about TD - throw out a topic and you'll always get some wise, common-sense responses. I have decided to test up on the top of my finger, close to the clipped edge of the nail.
Bag Balm - a couple of years ago there was a woman in my office who only used extremely expensive top line beauty products. Somebody came back from Walgreens and anonymously put a container of Bag Balm on her desk. She was horrified. However, a couple of weeks later, here she was raving about it as the best skin product she'd ever used. What a hoot.

i'm not growing any tomatos, but steph's bil is. so far so good.

good morning,
well another rainy day is behind me and today looks a wee bit better. it might hit 70 if i'm lucky. this next week looks way better. we are actually going to get into the 80's. shh don't scare it away. lol!!!! for all of the rain that we have been having i'm actually in a fantastic mood. i'm hoping to get brian over here today to jump start the rider mower so i can start mowing the lawn. with the new blades it shouldn't take as long. i can mow the whole width of the mower deck instead of just half of it. whoo-hoo!!!!
i have so much to learn about twitter. i got a new follower today that i immediately blocked. what she was interested in, i wasn't. if you get my drift. i had a good laugh about it though. i liked the ribbon thing that has been started. that was neat. i even subscribed to the twitterscope. i think i misspelled that but that's ok.
well guess i better get my shrinking butt to work. take care.

poor misunderstood ed. now isn't your dad glad that you married him?
before i met steve he was in a bad car accident on his way to school. my dad had some smart alex remarks to say about the kid who hit the telephone pole and i ended up marrying him. now, i don't know who was right about him my dad or me. maybe a bit of both.

thanks marie,
i unlocked my twitter page. i hadn't realized that i had locked it. boy does that explain a lot.

Hi Marie, the photo was taken on Sydney harbour. I was doing a photoshoot for a client who hires out cruise boats for functions.
visit www.tintolacruises.com.au for more pics. : )

Thank you for the warm welcome! I think I'm gonna like it here. That's an old pic of my twins. They're 6 now. I'll keep you in mind because I'm sure I'll have a lot of questions. Thanks again!

Thanks for the tip! That's an interesting posting.

Hey Marie, I've only lived here a year but I love it! And for my diabetes connection: I'm a writer with Diabetes Forecast magazine. I'm in the process of posting a request on the boards. I'm doing a story on success stories--people with diabetes (type 1 and 2) who have big or little successes--and was hoping some TuDiabetes users will contact me with their stories.
