After I died two years ago, I took up diabetes as a hobby. I'm still doing theatre and film work.There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.Comment

Not necessarily. Type 2 ("fat") diabetes is a choice, type 1 ("child") diabetes is something you develop no matter what and is genetic.Originally posted by Sava View PostIf there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

I'm not sure, but I think for only some type 2 diabetes is the result of bad life choices; for others they're just so highly susceptible to it that it happens. And I think damage to the pancreas can cause it.
edit: according to wikipedia it can be permanently corrected with weight loss and medicine so maybe it is a choice after all huh.Comment

Diet, exercise and drugs keep my type 2 diabetes in check. It cannot be cured, but is fairly easy to control.
One thing that doesn't change around here - threads change.

Currently no, which is ironic since I live in the gay capital. I live in a first floor flat on a hill so if I get flooded out, we're in a Waterworld scenario anyway.Originally posted by Uncle Sparky View Post
I see lots of people are making small versions of themselves. Very sensible. I assume of course this is forward planning in case an immunocompatible organ donation is needed in the future.Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

Congrats on all but the tattoos... What will you do when the color all washes out and your arms turn a faded blah blue in a few years? Will you have moved on to the rest of your body by then and consider yourself a piece of artwork? I met someone like that once. So full of themselves that the ink in their skin had become a beautiful part of their identity, and suffering other delusions of grandeur as well. Supported by a pier group even less honest in their opinions than this one. Anyway, welcome back Starchild.

There's not an image, pattern, word or phrase than I like enough to put on my body permanently.
God Bless anyone who has and loves their tattoos. But I just don't get it.To us, it is the BEAST.Comment

Neither do I. After enough self adulation a person does some funny things that give them away as completely vain. Having a hippie shoot ink into their skin is a biggie. In this thread that's StarChild's bragging rights and that's okay by me. After an age of not seeing someone with whom one rarely agreed for years its still a pleasant thing to see that person. If nothing else the login reminds of a bygone era way back when...and a human being long lost to mind is there once more.Originally posted by Sava View PostLong time member @ Apolyton

I do yearn for another trip to Canada- long hot sunny days on Wreck Beach, whale watching off Vancouver Island, the totems in Alert Bay... and the seafood....Vive la liberte. Noor Inayat Khan, Dachau.
