For @daisymae, today I want to dedicate a classic.
From 1962 by Peter Paul & Mary.

Where Has All The Diabetes Gone
By Peter, Paul & Mary

Where has all the diabetes gone, long time passing?
Where has all the diabetes gone, long time ago?
Where has all the diabetes gone?
DM has kicked it every time.
Oh my, has she ever learned!
Oh my, has she ever learned!

Where have all her BG spikes gone, long time passing?
Where have all her BG spikes gone, long time ago?
Where have all her BG spikes gone?
Gone forever, every swim.
Oh my, has she ever learned!
Oh my, has she ever learned!

I know the cure topic was brought up today - phase-2-trials - and I don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade.

But I haven’t done a dedication in a while, so what the heck.

Ocean Front Property
by George Strait Me!

There’s a cure soon
It’ll fix ya
Make your 'betes go away
All yor beta
And yor alpha
Will be fixed good
Now if you’ll buy that

I got some ocean front property in Arizona
From my front porch you can see the sea
I got some ocean front property in Arizona
If you’ll buy that I’ll throw the Golden Gate in free

No more crappy
Blood glucose numbers
No highs and lows and that’s a fact
No more testin’ or doin’ 'jections
Cause there’s a cure
Now if you’ll buy that

I got some ocean front property in Arizona
From my front porch you can see the sea
I got some ocean front property in Arizona
If you’ll buy that I’ll throw the Golden Gate in free
I got some ocean front property in Arizona
From my front porch you can see the sea
I got some ocean front property in Arizona
If you’ll buy that I’ll throw the Golden Gate in free
Yeah if you’ll buy that I’ll throw the Golden Gate in free

To all my FUD friends.

99 Problems
by Jay-Z Me!

If you’re having lotsa problems I feel bad for you son
We got ninety nine problems but the 'betes ain’t one

I got some food out and I’m ready to roll
But I gotta chow down before going too low.

The insurance nonsense, say “You gotta use these”
But gettin’ crappy strips, ain’t even worth it to bleed.

If you grew up shooting insulin through a syringe
You know what’s like goin’ on a donut binge

If you don’t like my numbers, yo yo Endo,
I ain’t gonna tell you where you can go.

Got a beef with the pharma, they always so slow
By the time I get my 'sulin, I’ma gonna be old.

And you sensor makers, I’m always using your stuff,
But G4, G5, G6 - hey, enough is enough.

I don’t know what you take it as,
Or if you understand the intelligence that FUD has.

We all rags to riches, no, we ain’t dumb,
We got ninety nine problems but the 'betes ain’t one, hit me

Ninety nine problems but the 'betes ain’t one
If you having other problems I feel bad for you son

We got ninety nine problems but the 'betes ain’t one, hit me

For @T1Allison

Movin’ on Up - The Jeffersons theme song

Alli movin’ on up,
To another side.
To a suburb with a much better school.
Movin’ on up
To another side.
She ain’t playin’ the fool.

School don’t have enough teachers;
Classes don’t got enough chairs.
Whole place full of bugs and mold
Classmates got lice in their hairs.

Now she up in the big leagues
Gettin’ a better district.
As much as she can, you can bet baby
Her place gonna be handpicked.

Well she movin’ on up,
To another side.
To a suburb with a much better school.
Movin’ on up
To another side.
She ain’t playin’ the fooooool.

:rofl::rofl: Eric, if you ever lose your highly suspicious day job, I think this skill you have here is in high demand. Somewhere, for sure.

Seriously. How do you have time for this?

And if I don’t come crawling back, then Auto did something right.

But I’ll be crawling back, so let’s not pretend.

I have been waiting a long time for this. It’s a great day for @daisymae! I have missed seeing her here. She has not been able to swim since August, and today is a great day, she is finally back in the pool!

Way to go DM! I have been waiting for this day. Glad it’s finally here.

DM Is Back In Town
by Thin Lizzy Me!

Guess who just got back today
That wild-eyed gal that had been away
Haven’t changed that much to say
But man, I still think that chick is crazy

They were askin’ if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
Told ‘em you were recuperating downtown
Drivin’ all the old doctors crazy

DM is back in town
DM is back in town

I said DM is back in town
DM is back in town

DM is back in town
DM is back in town

DM is back in town
DM is back in town

[Guitar riff]

You know that chick that used to swim a lot
Every day she’d be in the pool, showin’ what she got
When I say she was cool she was red hot
I mean, she was steamin’

And about that time you might know
To the emergency room she had to go
Man, that seems so long ago
Been since August but I didn’t forget her

DM is back in town
DM is back in town

I said DM is back in town
DM is back in town

DM is back in town
DM is back in town

DM is back in town
DM is back in town

[Guitar riff]

Spread the word around
Guess who’s back in town
Just spread the word around

Afternoon, look how she’s dressed today
Down at the Y.M.C.A.
Gtabs will go and BG blood will spill
And if DM wants to swim, you better let her

That jukebox in the corner blastin’ out her favorite song
The nights are getting warmer, it won’t be long
Won’t be long till the summer comes
Now that DM is here again

DM is back in town
DM is back in town

DM is back in town
DM is back in town

DM is back in town
DM is back in town

Spread the word around
DM is back in town
DM is back in town

DM is back, DM is back

[Guitar riff]

DM is back in town again
Been hangin’ down at Y.M.C.A.
DM is back in town again

Good question! And it has nothing to do with diabetes.

Under international agreement in 1927, the alphabet was divided among nations for basic call sign use in broadcasting radio signals. The United States was given the letters W, K, N, and A.

N and A were given to military stations, and K and W were assigned for commercial use.

Radio stations east of the Mississippi River had to start their station name with W, and stations west of the Mississippi had to start with K.

So putting both W and K in the name made it more inclusive for all of the U.S. And I am not really familiar with the naming convention for other country’s radio stations, so I just tagged it WKFUD, to make it like a radio station.

I thought that lady was gonna try to put the moves on that horse. Wasn’t sure what you were saying with the video, but then I realized it probably had to do with the running. :thinking:

Just how I felt today. Galloping on an open beach. :grin:
