I loved it. Just another example of people becoming involved in the process.

I have a subscription to Sirius... I love it.
The local stations in Little Rock suck and play WAYYYYYY too many commercials. Sirius' music channels are commerical free.

just curious .

any symbolism or meaning to your avatar choice?

mine is actually a gif .
CountryGuy

Mine is the tattoo that I got for my 30th birthday.
I chose a shamrock, not for good luck (although that is a nice dig to the dubs) but for my heritage (my grandfather was from Ireland).

Hey Noni,
I was diagnosed with diabetes four years ago. Initially I was put on oral meds to control it, but once I got my diet in control, I was able to stop taking them. I actually started going to Weight Watchers meetings and following their eating plan. I lost 120 lbs; my cholesterol went down to 112; and my A1C went as low as 4.5.
Of course, like a nimrod, I stopped following the WW plan and have gained a little over half of that weight. But, I do keep my sugar in check.
My father is also diabetic (as were both of my grandmothers). He lost a portion of his foot a couple of months ago due to the disease. For years, he didn't take care of himself, only within the last year or so, but unfortunately it was too late. This is was a huge wakeup call. My partner and I have just gotten back on the eatting plan. I plan on keeping all of my feet.
The day I was diagnosed with diabetes was the same day that Krispy Kreme opened up in Little Rock. (God's creuel little joke on me. ) When my doctor told I immediately thought about my gramma's diabetic candy and cookies.... man were they NASTY! But, these days, there are more sugar-free options to help you stay on track (you just have to keep an eye on how things are sweetened in the place of sugar).
I wish you the best!

I always enjoy the "Log Ride." Especially those that have a "bridge" in the splash down area where you can stand there and get soaked!!!

Even with gas prices we're going to drive to New Orleans on Labor Day weekend for Southern Decadence.
Then, we're driving over to Destin for a couple of days as well.
I CAN NOT WAIT! I haven't had a full week off of work since June 2007, so I'm long overdue.
