Fairly well I think. I'm responsible and try to stay on top of my health. I'm lucky enough to have very robust benefits coverage, so I've always been able to have the cutting edge equipment and treatment at my disposal. I've had excellent doctors and specialists over the years too, lots of kind and intelligent people who have made a difference in my life. Different individuals seem to have varying levels of complications with this disease too, and my case doesn't seem to be as complex as some others that I've run into during my journey, so I'm super thankful for that as well.

Mental health can be the harder thing sometimes. It does hold me back in certain ways, and the disease is progressing as I'm getting older. It's a bit of a mind blower, knowing that something could screw up with my pump while I'm sleeping, and I could just die without ever knowing. The insulin pump in combination with cgm remains the most risky medical device in existence (it's also super awesome though). I also had a pretty scary hospitalization last year, just the perfect storm of events really, but things got a bit scary for a bit. And that's from someone's who's like on top of it, I have a really good A1c level, I work out, I have the best of the best. It's still something that could wipe you out, like that clicks fingers.

But I suppose the same goes for the hurtling train coming at you, or falling out of bed the wrong way, right? It's all about trying to keep everything in perspective: I have a beautiful family, a pretty wonderful life, things are good and we are generally all in good health and happy. I try my best not to let this minor buzzkill define me.

The party of fiscal responsibility, everyone.

OhhoooOO Dreamweaver. I believe you can get me through...the niHIGHTttttttt

If you don't believe me, I'll meet you down at the Or Dh Tentis next frgil

How predictable. Election year. Developers whining.

Facebook went to hell when they let our parents and grandparents on. Not that they are to blame, but it was the beginning of the end.

If this has any ties to Smith, the RCMP need to step in. This has to stop.

You might need to add sand to level it all out. If you do this, make sure you get masonry sand and not just regular playground sand (although that will work in a pinch too). Just depends on what shakes out under the wood when you pop it up. The wood might be rebar-ed into the ground too, in that case you'll have to pop it up with a crowbar. That's what's nice about wood, is it's malleable and simple to level out. You might be getting yourself into quite a project with the concrete, depends on what you observe/how fussy you are.

Ahh I see. This is just an unsubstantiated opinion, but I'd bet this would still happen with those clik cores. Sealant has an unfortunate habit of gunking up whatever is in its path, and I bet that little valve at the bottom could still get pretty crapped up. It's a piss off when this happens with a $3 core, now imagine a $15-20 core, right?

Voting is kind of lame IMO. I wish it would die with Reddit. Large or small votes, my feed always seems to still be what it is, and I don't filter by votes or anything like that. Don't pay it much attention other than to maybe acknowledge the person above me.

Actually if my local community subreddit taught me anything, I've often got more in common with the downvoted folks.
