"Amazing Grace,
how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me.... I once was lost but now am
found, Was blind, but now, I see. T'was Grace that taught... my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved. How precious did that Grace appear... the hour I
first believed. Through many dangers, toils and snares... we have already come.
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far... and Grace will lead us home. The
Lord has promised good to me... His word my hope secures. He will my shield and
portion be... as long as life endures. When we've been here a thousand years...
bright shining as the sun. We've no less days to sing God's praise... then when
we've first begun. "Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like
me.... I once was lost but now am found, Was blind, but now, I see.

There was a young woman who had been
diagnosed with a terminal illness and had been given three months to live. So as
she was getting her things "in order," she contacted her pastor and had him come
to her house to discuss certain aspects of her final wishes. She told him which
songs she wanted sung at the service, what scriptures she would like read, and
what outfit she wanted to be buried in. Everything was in order and the pastor
was preparing to leave when the young woman suddenly remembered something very
important to her. "There's one more thing," she said excitedly "What's that?"
came the pastor's reply. "This is very important," the young woman continued. "I
want to be buried with a fork in my right hand." The pastor stood looking at the
young woman, not knowing quite what to say. "That surprises you, doesn't it?"
the young woman asked. "Well, to be honest, I'm puzzled by the request," said
the pastor. The young woman explained. "My grandmother once told me this story,
and from there on out, I have always done so. I have also, always tried to pass
along its message to those I love and those who are in need of encouragement."
"In all my years of attending church socials and potluck dinners, I always
remember that when the dishes of the main course were being cleared, someone
would inevitably lean over and say, 'Keep your fork.'" "It was my favorite part
because I knew that something better was coming...like velvety chocolate cake or
deep-dish apple pie. Something wonderful, and with substance!" "So, I just want
people to see me there in that casket with a fork in my hand and I want them to
wonder, 'What's with the fork?' Then I want you to tell them: 'Keep your fork
...the best is yet to come.'" The pastor's eyes welled up with tears of joy as
he hugged the young woman good-bye. He knew this would be one of the last times
he would see her before her death. But he also knew that the young woman had a
better grasp of heaven than he did. She had a better grasp of what heaven would
be like than many people twice her age, with twice as much experience and
knowledge. She KNEW that something better was coming. At the funeral people were
walking by the young woman's casket and they saw the pretty dress she was
wearing and the fork placed in her right hand. Over and over, the pastor heard
the question. "What's with the fork?" And over and over he smiled. During his
message, the pastor told the people of the conversation he had with the young
woman shortly before she died. He also told them about the fork and about what
it symbolized to her. The pastor told the people how he could not stop thinking
about the fork and told them that they probably would not be able to stop
thinking about it either. He was right. So the next time you reach down for your
fork, let it remind you ever so gently, that the best is yet to come. Friends
are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed.
They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open
their hearts to us. Show your friends how much you care. Remember to always be
there for them, even when you need them more. For you never know when it may be
their time to "Keep your fork." Cherish the time you have, and the memories you
share... being friends with someone is not an opportunity but a sweet
responsibility. keep your fork. Go with God

bathtubs, fireplaces, camp fires, etc. etc. But I have never heard of a car's

Listen Fed Up, I couldn't agree more. But what your looking at is the wrong
situation at least in my eyes. It's when we see Faith the witch, Sam the AP, Jim
the well whatever they like to say about him, me with all the stuff thrown my
way, herb and what is lashed out with him. I could go on and on. So you bring up
the last couple of days where a few specific and known people are at each other,
I find that much less disturbing than unprovoked attacks by people we don't
know. I know most of us agree that this place stinks in it's present form, but
to find the reason you need to look deeper than the last 2 days. But all in all
I do agree with your assessment that this place has no diabetes talk to
it........Marc

I was not proposing a discussion
of religion, but I was hoping to appeal to those who profess belief as a
motivation for them to control themselves. When I say the "real reason" for this
site, I go back to what the designers state, i.e. "to share your thoughts about
diabetes. What you say at the end of your post is my point exactly-- diabetes is
the last thing discussed here. I don't intend my comments to mean that no one
should feel free to mention other things that are significant in life, but what
concerns me is the hateful way folks treat each other.

Hey
Fed Up, answer this. I haven't been in "conflict" for months, but every day I
read there was everything being talked about BUT diabetes. So what are you
referring to when you say the "real reason" for this site? They needed controls
from the beginning, the real reason hasn't been around in years. And second, I
was fully agreeing with your post until you used it to propse the religion
subject, you then yourself take the subject of "real reason" and I question is
that to talk beliefs? Sorry, but what comes around goes around. You don't like
this subject matter and most of us haven't like the "other" subject matters
either. The real reason this site is open is anyones guess, since diabetes is
the last thing to get discussed here........Marc

This display of posts is
outrageous. It reminds me of a bunch of angry kids on a playgound, no one
willing to back off out of fear of losing face. What's the point? You don't need
to prove anything here! One side feels superior because he is misunderstood and
misquoted. The other side feels superior because he uses his real name and
claims to be defending someone. This is not a playground where turf needs to be
defended. We are adults who shouldn't feel the need to stoop to name-calling.
The truth is both sides are doing damage to this site. No one has displayed an
ounce of respect for anyone else. All of you are only interested in trashing
another human being--named or un-named. Everyone has forgotten the point of this
site. In two days, there has been hardly a nod toward the real issue. DIABETES.
Surely none of you could say that you have benefited from anything that has been
said in the last two days. All of us have been impacted by the garbage here. To
read this conflict adds stress to all readers. You might say, "so what?" But
consider what you have done to yourself. You have victimized yourselves by the
stress of conflict. You all have made this site a useless tool for newcomers or
regulars. You have belittled other human beings who have deserved respect or at
least civility. Those of you who claim to be Christian destroy your witness by
your behavior here. Those of other beliefs do nothing to support your position
either. Can any of you be the bigger person to set this aside and get back to
the real reason for this site?

Jim... sorry I couldn't join in the fun earlier, we have a storm and the
phone lines went down. I took the bait because I wanted to cheer myself up and I
know Steve is the best way to do that. What is perceived as anger is just the
opposite, I enjoy Steve's company. He and I know we love to one up each other
and obviously we were both in the mood to do just that yesterday. Too bad he is
extending it out to Faith because I can't see where that came from, but we all
know he aint all there. As I did say earlier, I did feel better there for a
while staying away, and even now only a handful of people really know what is
going on with me, they are private matters that I won't ever put up here to be
disected. But all in all Steve cheered me up so he served his
purpose.......Marc

Faith, you completely misunderstood my
point. I am not searching for something to "blast" you with. I merely suggested
you find a more productive outlet for your negative emotions. Please don't waste
your time feeling sorry for me -- I neither need nor desire your pity, sorrow or
sympathy (unlike others on here who thrive on that "stuff.") You need to
consider that sometimes constructive criticism can come from unusual sources,
even sources you don't like. So instead of calling me an idiot, suggesting how
poor and little I am, maybe you could try to direct your hostility toward a more
constructive feedback.

Good
Morning Faith, Jim, Marc, CB, and All. It's a beautiful day here in Oklahoma.
Night temps are running in the low 40's and upper 30's. Day time temps are in
the mid 70's. The trees are sure getting pretty. We have a huge maple in the
block just North of us that is bright red. Jodi just told me that we have 5
squirrels in the back yard picking up our pecans. She wants me to get out there
with the new "Nut Roller" she just bought me. It's a spring that is about 6
inches in diameter that has been rolled to make a wheel with about a 4 foot
handle on it. You roll it along the ground and when it passes over a nut the
spring spreads just enough to let the nut into the spring. When it gets full you
just spread the spring and dump the nuts out. No more bending over to pick up
pecans. I can't bend over and pick them up anymore but with the "Nut Roller" I
can wheel around in my wheelchair and pick them up. We usually get 5-6 paper
grocery sacks of pecans from our 3 trees. Every body said that there would not
be any this year as a result of the Christmas Day ice storm last year but we
appear to have plenty. BS was 76 this morning. I sure like this new Lantus. Hope
all of you have a great day like I am going to!! Herb (Bear)

On Tue Oct 30 11:25:10 2001 () said:
Dear Faith, you do get into a tizzy
over trivia, don't you? You blame me, someone you've never met and don't know at
all, along with diabetes for keeping you from having a "life completely
fulfilling." I can understand some anger about diabetes, but to have such
hostility toward someone you don't know seems absurd. We all need to grow up and
begin dealing with our emotions in a more mature manner. Rather than blaming
others for our condition, we need to learn to accept out situation/condition,
work to improve it and redirect our anger/hostility/energy into more productive
uses. Imagine what you could accomplish if you redirected the anger/energy you
waste here toward something productive. There's a whole world you could change,
dear Faith.

ALWAYS perfect life I wouldn't be posting on here. The diabetes and the minor
complications I have are what brought me to this site. THEN along came YOU! That
and the "D" keep me from having a life completely fulfilling. Why don't YOU try
to take a day off from being such an idiot!
On Tue Oct 30 10:27:21 2001 () said:
Faith: You keep emphasizing how
wonderful your life is. Who are you trying to convince: us or yourself? I am

sound like an attempt to reinforce this belief in your own mind. Sort of like

know you are so happy and complete. Now if you could find a way to deal with
your hostility over minor issues...

People who clean portapotties often find them undigested. Since your activity is
limited, high potency isn't a concern. The one I take is taken 3x per day. You
could cut that in half. Netrition.com is a good place to shop on line. Hope this

about why you are so jealous would help you deal with your anger. Envy is often
expressed through anger. So exactly what are you so jealous of, sir? Why do you
have so much anger to express? Medically speaking, your envy and anger could
lead to high blood pressure, ulcers, and such stress could eventually lead to a
stroke, dear friend. I'd hate to see that happen because I do so enjoy our

that it helps you immensely to vent your frustrations and anger. If you wish to
use me as a target for your temper tantrums, then by all means feel free. In the
meantime, you might want to check out some anger management and self-esteem
classes in your area. You seem to have a problem projecting your own suppressed
anger to others, again making assumptions without knowing or having any facts.
But if this is helpful for you, then please do continue. It's obvious you need

CB: I was
sorry to hear that you were under the weather. Hope you get to feeling better
soon. Your BS seems a little high. What does it run under normal circustances?
I'm sure pleased with this new Lantus my Endo has just put me on. Thanks for the
encouragement with regards to the hand squeezer. If it seems to help I may get
some small dumbells to do some exercises with my arms and shoulders. What do you
advise as a general purpose vitamin for males with limited activity like myself.
All of my doctors have given me the same advice with regards to vitamins, "You
need to be taking a good general purpose vitamin." Basicly I eat as follows.
Breakfast: A 2 egg serving of the 0 fat, 0 cholesterol, egg beaters. 2 pieces of
sugar free whole grain whole wheat bread made into cinnamon toast with 0 fat, 0
cholesterol, 0 calorie liquid margarine, equal and cinnamon. Meats, I eat
skinless chicken, fish, turkey, sirloin cut pork (boneless and fat free), one
serving of lean beef a week. All grilled or baked. Virtually all of the veggies
I eat are fresh. We are close enough to the Rio Grand Valley that we can get
good fresh veggies all year round. I occasionally eat a small baked white or
sweet potato with some of the liquid butter or some 0 fat sour cream on it. I do
enjoy some pasta dishes. Jodi has developed several in which she uses some whole
grain whole wheat pasta that she gets somewhere? She makes sphagetti and chili
with ground turkey and by the time she gets through spicing it up you can't tell
that she is not using beef. She makes some real good salad dressings with olive
oil, vinegar and spices. It never comes out the same twice in a row but is
always good. I've always really liked cheese. I have severly restricted my
cheese intake in recent years. I eat the Greek Feta cheese. The local Italians
here make a goats milk cheese that starts with the letter C and then is followed
by the alphabet. All the locals call it gourd cheese since it comes out shaped
like a small gourd with a flower on the top. It is a very dry cheese and has
virtually no salt in it. It dries on the surface making sort of a self rind. I
have no real idea as to the various nutrients since it is family made here
locally. So I consume it in small quantities as a special treat. I consume very
little carbohydrates as I see an almost immediate rise in my BS when I do.

No
way Stevieboy. You forget I have way too much experience with you and your words
and attitude. I know exactly who you are, you know it and I know it. Apparently
you are still the same piece of work you were before. And I know about some of
your e-mails to some of the people here. You still don't have yourself under
control. You never will, but you entertain me, so your posts do have some sort
of sentimental value.....Marc

Dear, poor Marc-ie: Do you remember the
famous quote from the TV series "The Odd Couple" about the word assume? Felix
told Oscar that when you assume you make a [alternate word for donkey] out of
"U" and "ME". You really do assume too much and you know absolutely nothing. You
assume you are talking to one person and in reality you are conversing with
someone else. Be that as it may, it is humorous how you reply without ever
reading. It's almost like the words pass through your brain at light speed
without ever slowing down!

Stevieboy, you forgot the inability to control your temper. Or did your

Dear Herb: I suffer no delusions about
my place in the universe. Unlike others on here, I know my place in this
universe is as significant as a grain of sand is to the entire Sahara Desert.
Nothing revolves around me and I realized many years ago that the world would
keep revolving on its axis long after I have shuffled off this big blue ball. I
readily admit that I am incredibly selfish, greedy, bigoted, stubborn and suffer
from a touch of vanity. Does that confession satisfy you? You, sir, completely
misunderstood my reply to Faith, but that's ok. It's always fun and challenging
to enter into a debate. Thank you!

Actually Stevieboy, I do feel better. I hadn't laughed that hard since the
last time you made a feeble attempt to engage me in conversation. I know the
world is only big enough to revolve around you, so I have no expectation that it
may also revolve around myself and even Faith. We are all certainly aware that
your opinion of yourself is you are on one level and all the rest of the world
is beneath you. But what confuses me is how your wife and kids live with that
condescending attitude. Here I find it funny, but I don't have to do anything
but read your dribble every once in a while, that poor woman spends her life
with you? Man, you must have to sedate her before your tirades...... Your
Friend.....Marc

Oh my poor, dear Marc-ie: You assume so
much and know so little. It must terrify you to realize that other people
couldn't care less what you think, say or do. To not be the absolute center of
attention must be an awful nightmare for you. Sorry, Marc-ie boy, I hold no
opinions of you. Oh dear, there I go again, bashing your vain little fantasies.
Please do forgive me because I know those are all you have. If it helps, I will
try extremely hard to lose a few seconds of sleep tonight worrying over what you
think of me. There, Marc-ie, does that make you feel better?

15:35:46, You quit a few nanoseconds to soon in your self important declaration.
We are quite well aware that you have never spent a single nanosecond thinking
about anyone but your selfish self. And you are dead wrong. There are several of
us on here who value her friendship and her opinions, and were worried about her
when we heard that Hondo was hit by a tornado. You are the one who seems to
operate under the disallusion that the whole universe revolves around you. Herb

Steve... for someone who doesn't spend a nanosecond worrying about others,
you certainly have developed quite the opinions of us. What do you like to call
that, hypocritical? As Faith said earlier, aint that the pot calling the kettle
black, since I have never in my life met a person who thinks he is so far better
thean, pick one, the rest of us. Like I always say to you Stevieboy, climb on
down from your highhorse and join the rest of us peons down here. You gotta be
getting lonely being the only one so vastly better thean us mortals......Marc

Connie and Faith, thank you for the
prayers! Gradually feeling better, but still congested. Spent much of yesterday
in bed. Had to do some errands this AM, and starting to feel tired again. About
AP's, some are cruel and uncaring. It is hard for me to think of people acting
like that.

Oh my dear Faith, no one would ever
accuse you of having a poor self-image. But please allow me to clarify one
point: I have never spent even a single nanosecond worrying about you or your
life, whatever its condition might be. You really do think too highly of
yourself assuming that others might be thinking about you. Same goes for widdle
Marc-ie... sorry to burst your fantasies, but the universe does not revolve
around either of you and I know of no one on here who has lost a moment of sleep
thinking or worrying about you, what you think, or what you say.

Hey Marc, so true!!! How's it
going? You and the pump still going around together? I'm having to adjust the
basal rates again on mine. I guess the last time I lowered them too much. Been
having too many highs. But, I still wouldn't go back to shots!! Have a great
day!

DEPRAVED???????? LOL LOL LOL!!!!!
You never cease to amaze me!! You don't know me, and I have a very good and
happy life, thank you very much!!! Who wouldn't with a wonderful husband,
preacher to boot, two wonderful accomplished children, and two beautiful
grandkids. So don't worry that I might have a dreary, miserable life. It's quite
wonderful! You are the one who MUST have a dreary, miserable life, if all you
find time to do is attack people on here and who knows where else! BTW, I didn't
misunderstand your pitiful comments, it's just that they were like the pot
calling the kettle black. Uh oh, there I go using an euphemism that you will not
understand! Sorry!

Faith... it is so disheartening to know I don't meet with the approval of
Mr.Steven Johnson. We should all know by now his higher level of education, and
his vast knowledge of big words, the ability to quote the likes of Churchill and
the rest make him just a much better person than ( I am sure he will correct
that if I used than instead of then) us. We should just bow to his
greatness..... Marc

Dear dear Faith: It is a pleasure to
provide you with some humor to brighten your dreary, miserable life.
Unfortunately, as usual, you misunderstood my comments. Ce la vie! The comment
about restraint was about the potty mouth comments from some of your "friends"
on here, like Jim, Marc, Sabrina and now Sam. The use of profanity displays a
limited vocabulary and a small, but incredibly dirty, mind. Nonetheless, I am
happy you found this amusing. It's good to see your sense of humor, however
depraved it may be, is still intact and functional -- at least to some
degree.

Sabrina: Your post yesterday was
hilarious, considering that some of the worst profanity used on here has been in
some of YOUR posts! I'm glad you realize there is trash on here -- like most of
your tall tales and potty mouth posts. It would be nice if people like you tried
a little restraint when posting.

Hi All, Well Herb
I am certainly glad you've gotten a handle on the peaks & valleys. I'm
startin my 2nd week on ACTOS and I had my 1st ok am reading (114). It's been in
the `140's all week till today. I've lost 4 lbs the last month. Most of it the
last 2 weeks i've been carb counting my meals. I got into an outfit today I
haven't worn for over a year. Now if I can keep the rest of my readings down,
I'll be closer to saying I have "tight control". Something I've nver had the
discipline to do before. Now if i can just get this tendinitis under
control.....I had to go to the Dr. Friday cause I have numbness and tingling in
my arm down to my little finger and the one next to it. It makes writing almost
impossible and typing left handed is time consuming. CB: I'm sorry you're not
feeling well. I pray you;ll be up & getting back to normal soon. Anita: My
prayers are with your son..very scary ilness indeed. I pray you'll have the
strength necessary to help the family during this time. Well you all have a good
week. God Bless & Low #'s to all. Connie _
