   By all means get second opinions—you need to be “all in” on this! However, you should be more afraid of diabetes than the treatment! As for your friend, nurse or not, humans are very good at self delusion. If you didn’t talk about it much, you really don’t know how she felt about the whole situation. I worked with someone who was Type 1, and his biggest problem was his resistance to the treatment and refusal to accept reality. Once he had his first child, his attitude changed dramatically—and he got healthier.

   For myself, I fear diabetes more than I fear cancer—and I’ve had cancer, chemotherapy, and survived.

   There is an adjustment period with insulin treatment, and it can be rocky, but it gets better. Do not be afraid, but work with your physician(s), and you’ll get through it.

   Right now, your fear is your worst enemy. You can choose to live, and die, in fear. Or you can choose to live—not in fear, but in determination.

   No, this is English, Cat help us! Latin attempts logic, but falls flat on its face at the fourth and fifth declensions. English doesn’t even try. Put in RPG terms, it is Chaotic Neutral—it will make chaos out of anything!

   Well, I care about hypocrisy and double standards regardless of the targets of same. The are wrong of themselves, and cannot be justified.

   SPAM™ can be delicious if you know how to prepare it properly: Sliced thin, fried until the outside is crisp. It’s like concentrated bacon. Not something to eat often, but as a treat now and then, served as a sandwich with good rye bread and nothing else, though some like mustard, horseradish, or even ketchup. Most of the other recipes I’ve seen seem rather unappetizing. While you can eat it uncooked, I find the lack of texture off-putting.

    When the musk ox changed the name to “X,” I realized that it was a Pinyin X, which sounds like the English “sh” sound. Xitter. How appropriate.
