What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

@Krystyna23040 protein at night does the exact same thing to me. I'm trying olives but sometimes I really want that dairy smoothness. Also if I eat lots of protein in general numbers seem to be higher. I am still working on this what to eat thing.
@HarrisonK based on your wife's location, I'm guessing you might be one of "AL y'all", not halfway between London and Liverpool? Happy bday to her!
@ianpspurs I wouldn't say "epic". I certainly do share with you your frustration, though. Did I read somewhere that statins raise BG? Or is that another drug. But we all know what stress does, and I'd say you've been under a boatload of ambient and acute stress for however long it is you and Julie have been working on the move. Not to mention your caregiving role. Not to mention empathizing with chickens who lay quarter-pounder eggs!!!!! Oh wait. That would be Julie's empathy I'm sensing...
@SaskiaKC what a treat, that sunrise!
@dunelm lololol. Also, what can I name your flax crackers, as "Crispie Dunnies" turned out to be a very poor choice! And Gazintas!!!!! I thought that was my father's exclusive term that he made up! You are the first time I've ever seen/heard it used by anyone but my family. I can see him laughing now, thanks for the warm memory! (I'm good at lang gazintas too so long as I have a pencil if more than 2 digits in divisor...)

Thanks @zauberflote but I don't actually think I have stress. Throughout my teaching and sporting career I was told I never seemed to be stressed by anything. I am a fairly typical only child though and may possibly, at times, veer very slightly towards my way or the highway:angelic: O/T could you please tell your President to restrict his comments and tweets to Dem bashing/howling at the moon rather than topics which adversely impact my shares. TIA

No :) I'm in B'ham UK, my wife is a NY gal and we don't live together but are best friends. Jenn is an aspie like me, and, we realised that as much as we love each other, 5000 miles is a safe distance except for short forays. We talk on the phone every week. I will pass on your regards ;)

SALAD SALAD SALAD, Chicken, fish, occasional deli meats, butcher's sausage, Ezekiel bread when available, any veggie he wants, nuts, no desserts except when out with Mom, whatever he can find suitable at his airport layovers, the occasional Kind bar, less mayo on sandwiches. That's not complete by any means. He lives 600 miles from me lol.

One of my best relationships for 30 years has been a long-distance one, averaging 900 miles over the last 10 years or so.

I don't know if I am an aspie or not but think I might possibly be somewhere on the spectrum if there is one.

I am planning on spending today doing what you did yesterday. ;)

Your mention of Tottenham reminded me that I have not seen @Goonergal around treading the board in a long time. I hope she is well.

Thanks Saskia. Goonergal is alive and kicking - on the Emirates pitch today :)

I was waiting for something to be delivered this morning at a pick up Amazon Collect Point. It was an expensive electrical item but I was treating myself. Then I got an email saying my item had been refused, and it was being sent back. Why?

I emailed Amazon and got email back, saying it HAD been delivered and was at my collection point.

So drove to the collection point. Only to be greeted by a post office where part of the roof was now leaking and water pouring in all over their electrical equipment. Water all over the cigarettes and other stuff.

I ask lady if she has my parcel. She checks some soggy parcels, then says no, and tells me the new incoming parcels have now been diverted to other post offices, but cannot give me any details because nothing can be logged online because all the electrical stuff has shorted. She gives me the names of the other post offices. Luckily I have my car, so I am now playing Find the Post Office and Hunt the Parcel.

My parcel is nowhere. I do not have a tracking number now, although it was there first thing this morning telling me my parcel was arriving today. But once I got the email saying my parcel had been refused, the tracking number was not there any more, and there was just a message saying my parcel was being returned.

I email Amazon again. Again back comes another email from a person with a long Indian name saying my parcel is waiting for me at the original Amazon Collection Point, and has just been delivered. I don’t believe it, but just in case it has been re delivered I get in the car again and go.

Water is still pouring through the ceiling, and the post office lady says nothing has been re delivered. I show her the email Amazon just sent and she tells me again they are not accepting any new parcels....she has no idea where my parcel could be.

I am just so tired. Can this world throw any more lemons at me?

I email Amazon again...

I have no energy left. It is 6pm and I have gone to bed with cat. I have eaten too much chocolate.

I have not eaten properly this afternoon. I have no heart left to bother with anything.

Oh @gennepher ! You couldn’t make it up! I had a similar situation a couple of weeks ago with ebay, it is SO frustrating.

Oh, @gennepher that is horrible. I am glad you have cat for comfort and also chocolate. It is my go-to comfort food too. I would be absolutely furious and shaking and probably crying. I always want to crawl under the bed when s*** like this happens.

When the maintenance man was down on his knees in my bathroom this morning amidst the toilet's innards spread out all around him, and I told him about "one of my internet friends" and the blocked up drains in their yard, he said he knew what a mess that could be and that my leaky toilet was nothing in comparison. I said, "Well, duh!" :) I am just so sorry that you are going through all this horrific aggravation. Sometimes I wonder why companies provide us with tracking numbers and links -- it is like being thrown into the Twilight Zone.

Hugs and purrs. :) ^. .^

Your leaky toilet is indoors! That is bad. Not nice at all indoors.

I think Armageddon has arrived. Nothing is going to work any more.

Alfred Hitchcock is back, working his craft of photography to frighten us of everyday things....

Thank you for the hugs and purrs. They are welcome.

I've been starting to wonder about that myself (Armaggedon). ;)

@gennepher and @SaskiaKC tsk, tsk. The memo was very clear. Fake news media, the elite, vaccinations, Brussels bureaucrats, carbs are all to blame for anything and everything. Simples.
