11 years today :)

[lelggren]

:dancing2: Today is my 11 year anniversary of diagnosis :) What should I do to celebrate? I think I should get the rest of the day off of work to go :dancing: with my pretty hubby ;) What do you all do to celebrate your anniversary of being diagnosed?

[mg_2204]

Come to think of it... I have never celebrated the anniversary of my diagnosis. But one thing remains significant for me : when a proper follow-up worthy of that name started and that would be at the end of 98. I consider myself healthy today and I owe so much to my health care team. I think I this is what I will now celebrate :) :) :)

[befni]

i like to eat a slice of real cake ha ha and forget for the day that i have it!!!

[UpNorth]

Last year i did everything a D shouldn't :laugh: had pizza, was eating sweets and cake :D of course, bolusing properly, but still, it's the stuff we shouldn't eat too much of :laugh:


Oh, and Happy D day :)

lelggren's diabetes


This song is called lelggren's diabetes, and it's about lelggren, and the
diabetes, but lelggren's diabetes is not the name of the diabetes,
that's just the name of the song, and that's why I called the song lelggren's diabetes



You can't eat anything you want ‘cause lelggren's diabetes
You can't eat anything you want ‘cause lelggren's diabetes
eat your food and jab yourself
check your B/g at the 2 hour mark and
You can't eat anything you want cause lelggren's diabetes

Now it all started 11 Easters ago, was on - eleven years ago on
Easter, when my friend and I went up to visit lelggren at the
diabetes but lelggren doesn't live in the diabetes, she lives in the
church nearby the diabetes, in the bell-tower, with her husband Ray and
Fasha the dog. And livin' in the bell tower like that, they got a lot of
room downstairs where the pews used to be in. Havin' all that room,
seein' as how they took out all the pews, they decided that they didn't
have to take out their garbage for a long time.


We got up there, we found all the garbage in there, and we decided it'd be a friendly gesture for us to take the garbage down to the city dump. So we took the half a ton of garbage, put it in the back of a red VW microbus, took shovels and rakes and implements of destruction and headed on toward the city dump.

Well we got there and there was a big sign and a chain across across the dump saying, "Closed on Easter." And we had never heard of a dump closed on Easter before, and with tears in our eyes we drove off into the sunset looking for another place to put the garbage.

We didn't find one. Until we came to a side road, and off the side of the
side road there was another fifteen foot cliff and at the bottom of the
cliff there was another pile of garbage. And we decided that one big pile
is better than two little piles, and rather than bring that one up we
decided to throw our's down.

That's what we did, and drove back to the church, had an Easter
dinner that couldn't be beat, went to sleep and didn't get up until the
next morning, when we got a phone call from officer Obie. He said, "Kid,
we found your name on an envelope at the bottom of a half a ton of
garbage, and just wanted to know if you had any information about it." And
I said, "Yes, sir, Officer Obie, I cannot tell a lie, I put that envelope
under that garbage."

After speaking to Obie for about fourty-five minutes on the telephone we finally arrived at the truth of the matter and said that we had to go down and pick up the garbage, and also had to go down and speak to him at the police officer's station. So we got in the red VW microbus with the shovels and rakes and implements of destruction and headed on toward the police officer's station.

Now friends, there was only one or two things that Obie coulda done at the police station, and the first was he could have given us a medal for being so brave and honest on the telephone, which wasn't very likely, and we didn't expect it, and the other thing was he could have bawled us out and told us never to be see driving garbage around the vicinity again, which is what we expected, but when we got to the police officer's station there was a third possibility that we hadn't even counted upon, and we was both immediately arrested. Handcuffed. And I said "Obie, I don't think I can pick up the garbage with these handcuffs on." He said, "Shut up, kid. Get in the back of the patrol car."


And that's what we did, sat in the back of the patrol car and drove to the
quote Scene of the Crime unquote. I want tell you about the town of
Layton, Utah, where this happened here, they got three stop
signs, two police officers, and one police car, but when we got to the
Scene of the Crime there was five police officers and three police cars,
being the biggest crime of the last fifty years, and everybody wanted to
get in the newspaper story about it. And they was using up all kinds of
cop equipment that they had hanging around the police officer's station.
They was taking plaster tire tracks, foot prints, dog smelling prints, and
they took twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy photographs with circles
and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each
one was to be used as evidence against us. Took pictures of the approach,
the getaway, the northwest corner the southwest corner and that's not to
mention the aerial photography.

After the ordeal, we went back to the jail. Obie said he was going to put
us in the cell. Said, "Kid, I'm going to put you in the cell, I want your
wallet and your belt." And I said, "Obie, I can understand you wanting my
wallet so I don't have any money to spend in the cell, but what do you
want my belt for?" And he said, "Kid, we don't want any hangings." I
said, "Obie, did you think I was going to hang myself for littering?"
Obie said he was making sure, and friends Obie was, cause he took out the
toilet seat so I couldn't hit myself over the head and drown, and he took
out the toilet paper so I couldn't bend the bars roll out the - roll the
toilet paper out the window, slide down the roll and have an escape. Obie
was making sure, and it was about four or five hours later that lelggren

(remember lelggren? It's a song about lelggren), lelggren
came by and with a few
nasty words to Obie on the side, bailed us out of jail, and we went back
to the church, had a another thanksgiving dinner that couldn't be beat,
and didn't get up until the next morning, when we all had to go to court.

We walked in, sat down, Obie came in with the twenty seven eight-by-ten
colour glossy pictures with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back
of each one, sat down. Man came in said, "All rise." We all stood up,
and Obie stood up with the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy
pictures, and the judge walked in sat down with a seeing eye dog, and he
sat down, we sat down. Obie looked at the seeing eye dog, and then at the
twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with circles and arrows
and a paragraph on the back of each one, and looked at the seeing eye dog.
And then at twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with circles
and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one and began to cry,
'cause Obie came to the realization that it was a typical case of American
blind justice, and there wasn't nothing he could do about it, and the
judge wasn't going to look at the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy
pictures with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each
one explaining what each one was to be used as evidence against us. And
we was fined $50 and had to pick up the garbage in the snow, but thats not
what I came to tell you about.

My 4 year anniversary is coming up on in two days (yikes :eek: ). I don't usually celebrate, b/c it's kind of a bittersweet thing for me. Usually, more bitter than sweet :frown:... Typically, I end up getting upset about it at some point during the day... it's not a pretty sight :motz:.

My first reaction is:

OMG!!

then, I realize that I cannot be the only one since Monty Python, Robin Williams, Richard Belzer, and many others whose humor is "Slightly" out of kilter continue to flourish and spread.

So, it is indeed possible that there are others out there who can think in strange patterns and enjoy, or even luxuriate in, the experience.
