Sorry to have been so sensitive. You all are right, of course. Attack away guys. Have fun. Sorry to have bothered you. Giving the AP exactly the attention it's looking for just might do the trick. Hope so. Bye.

Thanks Faith. Toad- One more thing, and please don't think I am attacking you. Faith coined the phrase on here "Ignore Ignore Ignore!" Look what trying to ignore (which should be/is the right thing to do) did. It ended up nearly driving EVERYONE but the Ap's away. I DO respect your opinion though. Jim

On Sat Aug 18 15:10:05 2001 Faith (same) said:
Toad, Jim is right! We who have been here for a couple of years, and that is a very few, are not the ones keeping new and old chatters away. It is the ap's, in my belief mainly one ap. I for one do not plan on letting him force me away. This place was a big help to me in the beginning and still is at times. I'll admit that since it has been back up, it's not what is intended to be. Call me optimistic, but I believe in hanging in there with hopes of it becoming what it should be. On the whole, I do ignore the idiot, but at times, like his belittling of Herb, can not go unanswered. Herb is a wonderful and loving man, who does not need the kind of attacks this moron has dumped on him. As Jim pointed out, Herb and his wife went to the funeral for one of our own's wife. Never had met the man, but went to the funeral anyway. To me that speaks volumns of what kind of man Herb is. He deserves respect, not the idiots tirades. Yes, I've posted some concerns lately on here and have not gotten any response back, i.e., adding oral meds along with my insulin, but, I don't see the point in leaving. Maybe no one had an opinion. So be it!

Good afternoon everyone. Toad- I'm sorry you feel that way. I've tried, as others have, to always answer someone's question if we know the answer. If you haven't noticed, almost the only poster anymore IS the AP ripping people. It's time he/she/it gets a little back. By Herb, myself and other people giving a little back, do you really think this place is getting damaged any more than it already has? I don't think so. And one other thing, I personally will not keep quiet when someone is getting as personal and vile in their attacks like they have been with Herb. He don't need me to defend him nor did he ask, but if you'll read, you'll see that after we attacked back, the AP went away, at least for the rest of the day. And don't tell me that the responders are chasing people away from here, not the AP's. Just ask someone who's been here for a year or more. Look who almost don't ever post anymore. The list goes on and on of people who were systematically attacked until they just left. Just to name a few: Gordo, Marc W, Ruth, Paule, Sandman, Sandy, Bambi, over half the BWD club, Sheri, etc. Your post was really short-sighted and disappointing. Jim

TOAD--I've seen too many people get ripped new ones here while trying to help, so I rarely post. If you'll send me your e address, maybe I can offer a few ideas/tips.

Morning... It's not the AP's that are chasing posters off here. Read back through this months board, please. It's those who are responding to the AP's stupid waste of space. I'm really dissapointed in you guys. I'm not the only one that has asked for information and support and gotten ignored lately. If you can't get the support from here then why keep this site on our favorits? Herb, Jim? Of all people? You know that responding is only adding fuel to the flame... Those of us that have come to lean on you and Faith, Bambi, Marc, Fay, Misty, Steve, ect, can't seem to get your attention anymore. What's with that? Is arguing with an idiot more important to you guys than us stupid diabetic newbies? If so, I'm sorry to have bothered you... I really didn't think you were that way. I trusted you and the majority of those posters on this site to actually care something about other's. I hung onto this site because of you guys. Because, of all the info thrown at you by Dr.s and "specialists" it's was here that I could get answers in plain English from people that have been there and understand the total confussion and emotional beating diabetics take. Come on, please... Snap out of it. For pitty sake, no one needs to get on the ground and argue with a snake to convince the snake that he/she is a human.

Jim -- Faith is right. Mr. ALL CAPS takes the award for Moron of the Millennium. I doubt any amount of education or training on sensitivity or diversity would help him/her/it. This "thing" gets their jollies by baiting other people and watching the reaction. Maybe a taste of their own medicine will do them some good -- it can't hurt!

Thank you for your concern, but settle down for what? I'm not excited about anything. If I look like a fool then big deal. He's ran nearly everyone away so who is left? I would think that he is the one looking like the fool. Settle down and let him say whatever he wants to anyone without fear of someone bashing him back? Not on your life. As a matter of fact, are YOU the all caps person trying hide yourself and get me to leave you alone? Too bad if you are. I figure I can't damage this place any more that he/she/it/you already has.

To 13:45:07- I'd like to see things from your point of view, but I can't get my head that far up my ass! Why don't you go away, or at least get to a doctor for your problem. I was going to say that I bet you think it makes you a "big man" to pick on a guy in a wheelchair, but that would be derogatory to Herb seeing as how sitting down he'll always be a bigger man than you!

Good morning everyone. 21:26:50- What makes you think that we give a s..t about what you think? Picking at Herb and the rest of us uis one thing. Posts like that one are another. Let me tell you something about Herb. You keep saying things like that to him along with posts that he is wanting pity/sympathy, or a handout. Here is a guy who not only puts up with all your abuse, but someone who attends the services of someone's wife that he only met on here, to offer his support. Here is someone who turned down my offer to help get new glasses after I read a post from him, when I thought he didn't have them because of money. Here's a guy who's daughters have a terrible disease and yet copes well. Here's a guy who's had his own health problems that would have killed a weak, cowardly, son-of-a-b**ch like you. I truly hope that you read this and feel terrible about yourself but that won't happen. People like you should be forced to change your name to "Ben Dover" (think about it) and sent to prison. Even that's too good for you. Wait, maybe you'd like that? I just don't know, and don't really want to. Too bad that your parents didn't practice safe sex! Jim

To %, I happen to use those shakes on occasion; they are good subs for some other products out there. "Stop it." you say. I will not, since information is to be shared via this board. If some people here had minds, I would try (again!) to reason this through. But it isn't worth the time.

HERBIE, CAN YOU SAY NAIVE?

On Thu Aug 16 17:16:46 2001 Herb (Bear) (hjs38@swbell.net) said:
My oh my, () ALL CAPS you certainly bring back memories. My fathers family was English and had a lot of old traditions. Among them was the use of the traditional family name Herbert. The eldest son of each family had to be named Herbert. With Herberts running around everywhere there had to be some nick names. My Dad's was Bert and I was "Little Herbie". To some of Dad's family if I stood 7 foot tall, weighed 500 pounds and was 80 years old I would still be "Little Herbie". With regards to your bashing of John. How can you who use the term religionist as a slur and a insult pretend to know what God is or is not doing in John's life. You have no proof that he is the one posting the anti feminine jokes on here. I do not believe it. If you had any understanding of his relationship to his wife of 50 years you wouldn't either. With regards to his use of the word Nazi, if you as a teenager had fought with the Dutch underground during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands and had watched close friends executed for their underground activities I would grant you the right to use the word Nazi in any way that you chose to.

JIM: If I undestood John right it is not the neurontin that is keeping him awake. It is the Restless Leg Syndrome and the neurontin and the valium are not killing the symptoms enough to allow him to sleep. Neurontin is being heralded as a miracle cure for pain among amputees who suffer from phantom pain, or pain in the body member that is no longer there. I have never experienced it in my leg. But those who do say it is excruciating and it never goes away. I have phantom sensations but not pain. There will be a very explicit itch between 2 specific toes that are no longer there. And I can wiggle my toes that are no longer there. TO () ALL CAPS: Where do you get off using the term WE?? Who has elected you spokesman and for what group. I know of a number of people on here who care. Herb (Bear)

I don't want to read any junk about, oooohhh! too much protein. 20 gm is equivalent to 3 oz meat! Most meal plans allow that much! Obxiously, those with ESRD had best check with their care givers before drinking these.

On Thu Aug 16 16:29:15 2001 CB () said:
You have it wrong ()! YOU don't care! Other people here DO. You are cold, callous, heartless, and antagonistic. Please speak for yourself, not others. Faith, there are moderate carb shakes out there for meal replacements. Metrx and Myoples are two that I can think of off-hand. Both are around 20 gm protein, but have 22 gm of carbs. Fat is low.

Good afternoon everyone. Herb- I don't know much about restless leg syndrome, but as far as neuropathy pain, this drug has let me start leading a productive life again, and I'm puzzled by the fact that it would keep anyone awake. Neurontin has a sleep-aid effect warning on the label and I take it at night or I CAN'T get to sleep. That fact though is why I posted the other day that some people react differently with different medicines. Tom- Yes, that is a high dose but keep in mind that in clinical trials people were given un to 3000+mg with no adverse effects. Diabetes has tore the hell out of my feet with neuropathy and it is the only non-addictive thing that my Dr has given me that works. Even at this dosage I still has a good deal of pain with the sharp stabbing, stinging and burning. If he ever takes it away, I won't stand a chance without it. That is, unless they find a cure for neuropathy or a better drug.

Herb, yes we do care! But you knew that already didn't you!

Just got a call from one of my sister-in-laws, asking about symptoms of "D". It seems one of her grandsons is drinking a lot of water and has lost some weight recently. I asked her if he was also voiding a lot too. She didn't know. I still advised her to have my niece get him to a doctor to be checked. Man, I hate to see this hit another one in our family. So far his generation hasn't shown any signs of it. Keep him in your thoughts, please! He is 13.

TOM & JIM: John V is suffering from "Restless Leg Syndrome" caused by Neurothapy. I am not familiar with the symptoms but he is on both neurontin and valium and they are not working for him. He says that it won't let him sleep at night. He says that he is growing quite familiar with the late night movies on TV. Herb (Bear)

Still waiting for those reports. Just called and the doctors were in meetings. Had more oral surgery yesterday. Was in that chair for an hour. Hope this is the last time. I'm still feeling the Vicaden (sp?) I took at 2AM. My bg's are running a little high. I'm guessing it was the surgery, or could it have been the chocolate shake I had for dinner. (Couldn't eat anything last night!) Hey Bambi, did any of that last storm affect your area any? Herb, got your request, will do!!
