    Be interesting to see how accurate the CGM is for estimating A1C before I have it done. It took two weeks before it started estimating it. I'm 0.2 away from going down to pre diabtic as opposed to diabetic. I'm guessing it's going to be a fair amount off.

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    Last week when in LA a friend of mine and my wife's from school was diagnosed with cancer. I stayed a day while her family flew in to be with her. She played this a lot. Kind of stuck with me. No, I'm not really a religious person. But I listed to it with her and really liked it.

    The Prepper Thread

    I'm not planning now or then for anything long term. But I saw lots of people in my time that couldn't make it 3 days in a hurricane for lack of water or food and such. The bonus would be for it to kick off and happen quickly, quickly enough to get to use my automatic turrets lol.

    I was in really shape overall for a bad situation. Land, away from population centers, had fuel stored, generators, gas and natural gas, family that cans all the time and raises food etc.... Didn't really matter though. Was all just for short term use like after a hurricane or ice storm. Only...

    Not the music of anyone here, but it's my birthday so why not. That and so many around me suddenly cancer diagnoses. Jessi Colter is/was Waylon Jennings wife and the other woman one his singers.

    Health Problems

    When I got my the doctor pretty much said the same thing, medicaid covers it all where I first got it according to the doctor. She said one patient had a dog bite the sensor off more than once, and they only give you 3 a month that last 10 days each. I joined the Dexcom (they make the CGM I...

    The amount of people that can't make it 2 days after a hurricane is quite high. The people you saw on the interstate wanting water after Katrina lived in the projects in multi level apartments. If the first floor flooded they could have gone up a level or two. But nobody had water and they...

    I fired up the epic launcher and was going to start on subnautica for the first time. 9.5 gb update I guess that includes the new DLC. I haven't really looked at it.

    Not cheap. My insurance paid for mine. I think a lot of insurances cover them now to save problems with diabetics that never know their blood sugar. It's hard to find an actual price. I think very few pay for them. It's 3 parts, the sensor that last 10 days, the transmitter that last a couple of...

    My new continuous blood glucose monitor is working out well. My endocrinologist was worried with new insulin type I would be clueless. Only reason I really wanted the thing it has alarms that go off if too low so I can hear it at night to wake me up. So far minus the first day when the insulin...

    Yeah I sold a fair number of my firearms to someone on a forum I've been a member of for 10+ years that's not very large. A couple of them went to owners of well known firearm makers. Lots firearm sites. Every hobby or stuff has a forum geared toward just it. Most normally have a buy/sell...

    Does seem kind of high for gas. I have an electric and it's 50amp. I looked just the other day to turn it off to drain it. All you are powering is a few electronics and the blower.

    I'm a big DIY'er or was. I wired the shop, the office and other things from the ground up. I would call an electrician lol. The no main cutoff at the panel would scare me as well.

    I think there are people that pick up stuff and sell it off for you, for a cut. I'm guessing it's 50% or more.

    I sold a lot of stuff over the last few years. One of my nieces sells a lot of junk via ebay and facebook market. I sold it to her for a set price basically and told her anything else she can get is all hers. I had to tell her what a lot of the stuff was. Her husband helped. He's a big fisherman...

    I lived with her for 20 years before we got married. Nothing changed. I left high school and remember maybe 4 people people that knew my parents and they would bring up from time to time. Those people have helped me get in touch with some. I never even thought about it as far as I know. My wife...

    I have fed this often as an uncle. No idea if mom and dad or grandma ended up with them. Considering both of them live several hours away it most likely ended up in the trash. Maybe ticking off the kid.

    Not yet. I've only had the unit a week now. Right now I'm here at the reciever most of the time. One day when I get out more I probably will. The more I thought about it the more I realized I'm not active enough to justify just using the watch paired to the phone when I'll have to have the...

    Smartphones

    I was given a galaxy 10+ for christmas. It works great for me. However I am not a big smartphone user and my very old one did just as well for me. So basically I am no help. I mostly use it for interfacing with my dexcom continuous blood sugar monitor and the everday normal stuff.

    Some of it is coming back. Looking at yearbooks, talking to people I knew that knew me and my friends. I sent messages to several people in facebook to see what had happened in 30 years.

    He's kind of gravly, but if you're from Louisiana from really south Louisiana it's not that bad. I mean his high school buddy Bobby Hebert didn't exactly talk"normal". The more river rat you get as a coon ass, the more he sounds like a lot of them.
