Hello Americans and others across the globe to another edition of my own version of "As My World Turns." This one happens to show up on this day which is
Thursday, December 4, 2014. November concluded the national emphasis as the month devoted to diabetes awareness. I continue to deal with that particular issue as it came not to pass but to stay, at least it did in my situation. I read an article yesterday that stated new research indicates that being diagnosed with diabetes in mid-life can add five years to the age of your brain. That would be an exact fit for my situation. No wonder I like mostly old radio programs. I know. It's not anything to laugh about, but, it may have to be one of the excuses I use when I forget something important. The Santa program where I sit for long periods of time is not completely compatible with doing my best to control my numbers, but, it typically does not take long to get things back on track. Meaning, back to reasonable control. When I get a couple of higher than 'my normal' readings it does make me wonder if they will come back, but so far they have and I am thankful for that. In reading some of those who posted on Facebook I just know how my heart goes out to so many little ones who have been handed this challenge as a life changer they will have to work with for the rest of their lives. I always come away from the subject with a thankful heart that I have done as well I as I have, and that God has somehow provided during these last seven years.
Amen.
Okay. Now this one is a little risky but it's also a bit of fun. "A newly married husband put up a notice in front of his residence: For Sale, Computer and Encyclopedia: Both in excellent condition. Reason for selling: No longer needed. I got married and found out the new wife knows everything and she has her own backup server called mother-in-law." Don't write me. It's only a joke. A read one where the wife was explaining to her doctor the problem she was having. "The pain starts in my husband's lower back, then it travels up his spine to his neck, then it comes out of his mouth and into my ears. And that's why I get these headaches." One last one. "The old farmer wrote a letter to his son who was in prison. 'Son, this year I can't plant potatoes because I am unable to dig the ground. I know if you were here, you being a good son, would help me.' The son replied. 'Dad, don't be an idiot. Don't even think about digging there because that's where I hid the guns.' The police read the letter and went out to the farm and spent all day digging and looking for the guns. Nothing was found. The son then wrote again to his dad: 'Now plant your potatoes dad. That's the best I could do from here.' (All those came from different joke thread Facebook pages.)
I also read a little ditty on a photo of a fortune cookie funny. It's particularly appropriate for us diabetics. "If you eat something and no one sees you eat it, it has zero calories." I hadn't read that before but full disclosure requires me to tell you that I have operated under it's premise
mucho many times in the past. Sorry but that will have to be enough of an explanation about that for now. You know that I am mostly joking. Mostly. We all have things we would just as soon not delve into. Right? Just remember this: I didn't tell her to leave those marshmallows out on the cabinet for the entire world to see. It was those tiny ones. You know the ones I'm talking about. It takes a handful to even get a taste with all that air pumped into them. Oh well, it is time to say so long for today and to wish one and all a blessed day. If I keep up this type of revelation I will have to change the name from 'As My World Turns' to 'True Confessions'. See you next time, Lord willing.
Amen. ....More later.
