I still have all my teeth and most of my hair!

My age is still less than my IQ

I now have 2 pair of glasses... so I can find my glasses without my glasses

I mix Jack Daniels with my prune juice

I can't see but I can still drive!

Dogs and kids still like me

Most people think I just don't understand

I'm done now

No, you are done FOR now. Another point of view please

I bought a sex bot to mow my yard...
She looks great strapped to my tractor

Politics hasn't made any sense at all, since I quit smokin' dope!
So, now I watch FOX

My "emotional support" chihuahua was way too hyper... So, I bought a python. Two birds, one stone

I gave my sex bot an M16...
My neighbors have no sense of humor.

Elvis (bennash) loaned me a book called "UNFuk your Brain!"
Nuff said...

I'm half blind, I've got a bad right hip, arthritic knees and ankles, and I'm allergic to NSAIDs... So, yesterday, I thought I'd buy a bicycle and try to get some exercise.

It started raining right when I put my old truck in gear...

I took it as a sign from God

Well... I can always laugh at myself

One great thing about getting old is knowing that all your childhood demons are dead

Believe it or not, I actually do look forward to a day when the "F-word" is completely unnecessary

I'm looking forward to learning the difference between a load

Hmmm... How many loads are there, John?

Not sure why everybody's so scared of Armageddon...
There will always be guitar players

I would be worried if I DIDN'T offend you...

The "old" bring discipline.
The "young" bring change.
The "humble" bring wisdom.

How many loads would make you happy??

John, what is "THE WEIGHT"of a load off Fanny

Am I missing something... O_o

Someone stole my guitar once...
That someone probably needed it more than I did

Whores on flying lions , is not exactly something to look forward to. and nothing to do with Good News . I guess God got all the hookers and gave them a job. Probably supervised by Richard Pryer .

Hmmmm...
What exactly is a prostitute guilty of?

Lol...

A good time I guess , them stories are more depressing then my 3 divorces. Well political correct is escort. That girlfriend experience will cost you alot more .Which usually where you end up after a few divorces. Rent a Marriage. Well i guess i'm sick of this bs , Lets try a forth marriage. By then , you should have obtained 100 country songs and a diploma by Comedy Central. A judgment letter from people who walk on water , with a closet full of skeletons , that would scare Steven King

Perfect summation, Elvis!

ha ha ha , life. George Carlin hour

Good news...Lisa Loeb guitar found...
Just thought I would post some actual good news on the good news thread
Steve

All men are truly privileged to reap what they sow

My blood sugar reading today...5.0
Blood pressure reading 117/72

not bad for 77

Is 5.0 your A1C? If it's your blood sugar, you should be dead.

John

No John...there are I believe 2 different ways to measure blood sugar... my target is between 4 and 7...when i was diagnosed my Blood sugar was 26 and my A1C was 17...that was bad 4 years ago...
here are the 2
A blood sugar level less than 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L) is normal
Mine is mmol/L

Then you must be Type 2 Steve? I wasn't aware of different ways to measure blood sugar. My wife's been a diabetic for 60 years. Her A1C is always around 6.8. She's 77 also.

John

You're right I am type 2...was diagnosed 4 years ago....went on insulin for 4 months and haven't been on it since...I made an immediate change in my diet and lost 60 lbs...haven't had a number above 7 in 4 years...your wife is type 1?
Steve

Congratulations Steve! Yes, she's type 1. Been on insulin 60 years. Been on the pump about 30 years. Sensors, just recently. She never had a weight problem. She's all of 104 lbs. She fights it every day, like you.

John

It sort of runs a bit in my family,,my grandmother was type 2 for over 50 years as is my aunt who has been type 2 for over 60 years...diabetes is almost a pandemic now

Weight loss almost always cures type 2.

It's an American disease, bottom line we eat too much.

Congrats to all who have beaten it

Thanks for the encouragement..
You never beat diabetes...you only hope to control it and pray it hasn't done to much damage to all your organs..I have peripheral neuropathy in my feet so I have to keep the diabetes under control or I just might lose them
Steve

Yes, you always have it but, weight loss does what insulin can't.

The medical profession wrongly believe insulin replacement is the answer. It's not low insulin it's that the body doesn't use insulin right. So you could shovel in all the insulin you like it won't go where it's needed.

Weight loss allows the body to use it and send around the body.

I never knew anything about it, until about 15 years ago, people were getting it like gangbusters.

I found my brother in law on the floor passed out in his house. Nobody answering the door, I found key under the mat. Walked in and saw him passed out.

My first ever encounter with it. I didn't know what was wrong but called 911.

Type 1 is genetic, type 2 is caused by being overweight.

Lose weight and immediately numbers improve.

My bro in law also has neuropathy.

Best to stay with it,good luck

Woop Woop YAY!

I haven't even bothered to check mine in quite some time now.
However, I've certainty cut sugar/carbs/salt from my diet...
And, I've recently found an adult "cruiser" bicycle with a seat that fits my 230lb ass.

230 is pretty good for me

I think every household should have a diabetes test kit and a blood pressure unit...even if they are in perfect health...early detection saves lives

c'mon JAPOV ...I'm about to have lunch and now I can't get that picture out of my mind....how much does the rest of your body weigh??? lolol

HaHa!
I have quintessential "construction worker" bod lol...
Good luck with THAT picture

Yes weight loss and diet are important. But insulin is truly a wonder drug. My wife wouldn't have made it through her teenage years without it. She found out she had diabetes when she went into a coma, with a blood sugar of 1200. She's always been thin and watched her diet.
