Glad we’re on the same page
please dont tell me how it ends. no spoiler-alerts. (it’s simply not good enough that i would continue watching it if i knew the ending )
Proper social distancing is 6 feet. To envision this distance imagine you are a wide receiver and Colin Kaepernick just threw you a pass. Anywhere the ball might land is a safe distance.
If you put some felt on top as a makeshift filter, it may be better than what a lot of healthcare workers have.
Wednesday April 22 was Earth Day. I wanted to celebrate the day properly, so I went to the local school playground and planted some marijuana plants.
When I start a butt pod on my right side, and I leave the old one on my left side to let the last bolus absorb really well, I feel like I have taillights.
If you weigh 99 pounds, and then you eat a 1 pound taco, you are 1% taco.
At least for 12 hours. Then things tend to turn to ■■■■.
Similarly if you weigh 200 lbs and you eat 10 lbs tacos you are 5%
Given the 5% taco analogy, what is the percentage if you have 3 IPAs plus the taco?
I had to call my supplier for a new set of insulin pump pods for 3 months. I am posting it here because the guy had to be drunk! Or the person who came up with the list of questions!
They asked their typical dumb questions that they always ask. Boy, nobody with a phone book and any knowledge about me could ever crack this top-secret code!
- Name?
- Address?
- Date of birth?
Then they have a set of extra dumb questions:
- How many times do you test your blood sugar per day?
- How many pods do you have left?
And then this time, I guess I got the extra extra dumb question!
- Do you use an insulin pump?
My answer:
“Yes, by crazy coincidence, the insulin pump stuff I am ordering from you right now, is the same insulin pump I use!! What are the odds?!?”
Doctor told me to reduce my contact with idiots. Glad I only have to do this once every 3 months.
I don’t know Eric, they may have a special file for you, and understand that you could be using a pump and the pods at the same time. lol.
Or, knowing @Eric, he could have said something like, “I use three different types of pumps and I use them for all different purposes!”
@eric since you obviously are using many many pumps for (do I really want to know??) maybe this should be your theme song on FUD… Pump It Up by Elvis Costello
Damn you @elver, you triggered me with lyrics!
Pump It Up

OMG!!! LMFAO!! That is just too good for only here at FUD - when’s the local Karaoke hour??? Seriously great!
A tangential thought, was so bummed that the pandemic thwarted our plans to see Elvis Costello live in April.
@Eric, these are great lyrics: now I am (almost) ready for FUD Karaoke!
@Eric, hilarious!
For some reason this kinda struck me today…
It was 105 degrees here today. I happened to drive by my dentists office and saw him— my dentist outside, soaked in sweat, (wearing a mask, nonetheless… granted there were other people near him) with a shovel in hand digging up some sort of rose bush or other shrubbery outside his office… for some reason that struck me as being remarkable and pretty cool…
Reminded me of early in my own career when I showed up for work at a many-multi-million dollar tugboat company and met the owner in the yard in filthy coveralls and covered in soot with a grinder in hand cutting through a 3” towing wire … @docslotnick
