There seems to be two classes of Americans as far as UPS goes… There’s Americans who own their own homes and the rest of us who live in Condos and Apartments! The first enjoy front door delivery while the rest of us have to slog over to the mailroom! I ask you is that fair?
Some time ago, I was diagnosed with both Diabetes and a Stroke, and shortly thereafter my teeth began to fall out! Ah yes, just a few of the benefits of hitting the early seventies! I guess that’s what comes of living pretty much problem free most of my life… but I’m not complaining.
By mid 2025, I found myself on insulin three times a day, had new dentures installed and had gained a whole new view of things. Yes, its a whole new ball game from here on out.
This week I stumbled on a slick device that allows a person who uses either a Libre or Dexcom to monitor their glucose real time. While it can be a bit of a challenge to setup and the cost is pretty high at $99, I have found it to be very useful.
After using for about a year and becoming thoroughly addicted to it I will now state – DO NOT BUY!
Sunday, Jan 19th thru Tues the 21st look to be the coldest temps of the winter, so far!
It wasn’t too long ago, as a youth, when I used to look forward to a spell of really cold weather. I would get all bundled up and leave at the crack of dawn to go out with my buddy where we would head for the woods. There we would explore, as only kids could do, and would stay out most of the morning. I remember how the air felt crisp and frigid as I would take breath by frigid breath. That was a time to be alive.
Cycle forward a number of decades and how things have changed. Now it’s all I can do to leverage myself out of bed. Pains in my legs and arms preclude me from even venturing outdoors. On top of everything else, we have another arctic incursion with snow and or ice bearing down on Forsyth Mo. as of Tuesday, Jan 7th. It’s due to hit on Thurs, Jan 9th late. Swell!
As of this Jan 3rd the fast approaching storm will miss my town of Forsyth Mo. almost entirely. I for one am relieved as this storm is nothing but trouble!
Sadly Springfield to the north will not be so lucky. The folks up there and in surrounding communities can expect an icing event followed by multiple inches a snow, a pretty nasty combination for anyone to have to drive in!
Following this mess will be unusually cold weather over the following several days. A fact that will exacerbate any bad weather that follows.
Hang tight everyone, it’s only the start of what could be a long cruel winter…
I have had much contact with the police over the years, but when a shipment went missing that were the first I contacted. Imagine my surprise when shortly after I called, the Chief of Police, an Officer Patrick Gray showed up at my door to take the report. I was in awe.
Imagine my surprise when a couple of days later the package showed up at my door! Kudos to Office Gray and the entire Police Dept. for their timely response.
I want the be the first to extend a hand to President Biden for his recognition of Global Warming! It’s almost 3 am and the temp outside is 53F. Wow! I’m taken aback. The President actually got something right.
This is a sample graph of Libre3 taken on Friday, December the 20th in the morning hours.
The early morning hour was a bit harried as I applied a 4 unit dose of insulin to counter a fast rising curve. That action bit me in the butt later as my glucose took a real dive. Fun and games!
Seriously, the Libra 3 app with sensor is a real game changer by the fact that you don’t have to be constantly poking your fingers.
The title says it all! Democrats are pure evil! I make it a point to not listen to them whenever they talk as it is a pointless waste of time.
