It was a good way to end the second 12 hour shift since Monday. That sounds wonderful!!! The fried chicken a la duck sounds like something I'd like to try. I like dark chocolate with very little sugar. Milk chocolate never. Well after the cake, a quarter cup of pretzels, and a corned beef sammich it is finally up to 56. I took insulin this morning when I had my cup of coffee at 7:00 AM and haven't eaten until tonight or taken any. I told myself when I went into home isolation I would eliminate my need for insulin and it appears I am slowly reaching that goal. There may be no meds available in the near future!

Simple27 User ID: 79420394 United States 03/02/2021 10:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm trying. I have discovered getting stoned eliminates my need for insulin. I ate a cannabutter cookie about three hours ago and took no insulin and now my blood sugar is off-scale low below 40. Human normal is 80 to 100. I begin going blind below 35. I have no hunger yet am now forced [I'm being serious] to eat a piece of chocolate cake [I hate damned chocolate] so I do not go unconscious and die. I only knew it was at 40 because I set an alarm to check it two hours after eating the cookie. I already know weed is the cure for glaucoma and many types of pain. Lance 'warned me' RSO can also cure diabetes and my having to eat chocolate cake that I don't even like to keep my blood sugar high enough to not go into a coma and die was not something I expected tonight. Other than that all is well, but it kinda killed my buzz as I find chocolate disgusting. Good Lord Louis! This sounds a bit more scary than it seems you want to let on. I get that, but I'm also gonna add a little prayer for you. I'm glad you are aware and check when you know you should though. Thank God. Fine line. ~*Ride the Wave*~ |

Brain dead today as I worked with a Microsoft Engineer until 19:30 EST. I sent a scathing email today demanding a phone call at 5:00 PM from Microsoft and two of their Government Sector managers were on line in a Teams meeting with me fifteen minutes before the engineer came on and they sat through our server repair session. "We need our service call escalated as the contractor has not been available after 5:00 PM, cannot be understood on the phone, and takes two to three days to reply by email any time I send server logs to them. I have worked with real Microsoft support in the past—they will work at night; they will call on weekends. The service we are currently receiving is second-rate, accomplishing nothing, and I pray you do not ask me to rate the support because you will get an honest answer from me and it will be far less kind than I have written here despite my desire to be kind..." The squeaky wheel gets the grease! We completed one of two needed fixes and I have a task running he said will take hours to complete so I'll see how it looks tomorrow.

But they were hippie parents in central Iowa so caramel colored wonder bread was 'whole wheat' and although we weren't allowed any cereal with added sugar (only cheerios, cornflakes, and rice krispies..no commercial granola), my mom did buy oreos (my friend's mom made all home made cookies and bread) I will have to check some of those out.
