Hi everyone! I'm trying to do a little catching up here at home, things i've been neglecting. Was going to get my manicure today but my favorite nail tech is not there so I think I may just wait until Monday now.
Sandy - I have read the book and seen the movie and enjoyed both although there were a few details in the book that didn't seem quite right to me. I don't want to disappoint you but a few months ago, I read that the boy involved has admitted the story was made up by his dad and he went along with it. He was pretty young when it started and I'm sure it was difficult to speak out against his dad. From what I've read, his mother was against it from the beginning but also went along with it. Shameful to me. I do believe there are legitimate near death experiences but I always test them against God's Word. Losing my first son was difficult at the time but now have to say that I have "mourned" more over one of my living kids more than the one in Heaven.
I would love to have silver hair like you, Sandy! Mine is salt and pepper although there is a lot more silver than there used to be. I don't think I'd ever color my hair now as I like it ok the way it is and don't want to spend the time on it. When I worked though I had my hair colored. It was an auburn brown. My natural hair was a medium brown but had a lot of red in it, and the color just kind of brought that out more. When I knew I'd be retiring soon, I begin to let the color grow out. Looked kind of funny for a while!
Glynne - I just wondered how much it hurts, is it worse than the lancets? It is not just insulin, there are at least three diabetic meds now that are given by injection. So far I've refused them. And they and many of the insulin now are given via a pen like device as you describe. I know how to give an injection but not sure if I could stand to do it to myself. I'm glad you don't have to do it daily. I'm sure once we got ued to it we could all do it if we have to. When I started the daily testing I wasn't sure I could do that, but I have never had any problem doing it.
Carol Sue - I get it cut the same all the time. Don't go by my picture here though as that day I needed a hair cut. LOL I keep it short in a modified pixie cut Everything forward except I push the top (bangs) to my right. It is cut around my ears. I get a bit of relief for a while from the constant itchiness (scalp and ears) when I first get my hair cut then as my hair grows it gradually gets worse again. ETA I'd love to change my picture but can't seem to get any pic to work.
