@jcpryor I'm sure that helps with remembering to do it, too.. One of grams diabetes friends had to have the pump installed because she kept going into shock from forgetting.

Whoops.   I fought to get one.  They came out when I was in medical school, but was not until my residency did my doctor relent.  Have been able to do triathlons,  5ks...all sorts of things due to the freedom it gives me

my first concert was Lee Greenwood, i didn't go to another one until Lollapalooza in like 95 or 96.  I do love Coffee, i get so much done after drinking some, that beer, and organic ginger ale are the 3 drinks that get me through the day, you might want to try some organic ginger ale, it has a lot of health benefits.  looks like a beautiful place.  doing ok, went to the ren fair for steampunk weekend yesterday, just been trying to get this novel done, and trying to stay health.

@xhippykid Hah! so... funny story: I text both of my parents to ask them, because I honestly just remember going.. Well... my dad's response was, "a bunch." However, my mother's response.. "Um, lots..? I smoke remember!" Yeah... hippy parents. lol

You're hair looks so good! I love that colour on you. And I can't wait to see your set. I know it's out already, but I can only view it tomorrow night. So, needless to say, I'm burning with excitement.

3 FAMOUS PEOPLE I THINK I SHOULD BE FRIENDS WITH...

1. Bill Murray

2. Jack Nicholson

3. Sofia Coppola

10 things you don't know about me...

1. I grew up in a big time southern baptist church in Jacksonville, Florida. My father was the lighting director, so I was there a lot. I am an existential pagan now, but that, a lot of people...

Thanks for the insights.  You should def post some vids of all those mad musical skillz. ;-) I agree with ya on old books, I love that musty smell too.  And cannot wait til your next set hits!
mrwaverly:
You look really yummy on that teaser photo. I shall be looking forward to the release of your set. I'm also glad that you're a bibliophile - fuck the kindle and the other e-book systems. Part of the joy of books is the peripherals to the text. The smell, as you say, be it a brand new copy, where you can actually smell the words; the woody paperiness; the different aroma of the cover stock. If it is old, then it will have picked up ambient smells from where it had been (I have a book, on British wild flowers, in which a previous owner had pressed various fragrant 'weeds', like Meadowsweet, and Tall Melilot, which both contain a chemical called Coumarin, which smells delicious. The book now smells delicious). The feel of a book in one's hand. If it has a dustcover, what does the cover underneath look like? The epitome of this, is, surely the tie-in book for the BBC black comedy, 'The League Of Gentlemen'. Entitled 'A Local Book For Local People', it has an embossed dustcover apparently made of badly sewn and wired-together bits of human skin, including an embossed navel, and more disturbingly, part of a scrotum. Remove this nastiness, and the front cover is a blood-spattered scrapbook, and the rear cover is a hilariously hideous picture of Mark Gatiss (Sherlock's brother Mycroft), in a full body prosthesis, as the character 'Aunty Val'. It has to be seen to be believed. Also, the book does not have to be recharged. Just loved, and put away properly. 😊😘😘

:) your most welcome sweetheart. your awesome... <3
mrwaverly:
I'm sorry that you are feeling so unwell. I can only hope that you feel better soon. Crohn's is a curse, and another page in my 'Why there is no god' file. I am glad that SG made your life better - several other people here have said the same thing. I enjoy pottering about here, too. It actually makes me happy, and I don't usually 'do' happy, but SG makes me happy. Yeah, I am happy. As John Travolta once said: "Ain't it cool?" Indeed it is. You are lovely and don't deserve to be ill. All I can do to help, I' m afraid, is to say Get well soon, with much love, xxxxx
