Sorry
@Fairygodmother Some people seem oblivious to the danger out there from covid still at times, especially when you have a problem that puts you at higher risk. We have an uncontrolled surge going on and plenty of people that have been vaccinated. They just highlighted someone on our island news that was vaccinated and doesn't have a clue where they got it, has diabetes and is in the ICU at the hospital. His wife ended up testing positive and their 1/1/2 year old daughter too. He was telling everyone to be careful even if vaccinated. Better to be safe than sorry.

@Japes, people don't get it. I think part of the problem is there is so many type 2's that people know and now everyone just assumes it's the same. I even had a medical person, she had a degree, I just don't remember what, wasn't a doctor, when I was mentioning my high BG's from snorkeling that said to me can't I plan for it the night before so it doesn't happen. That really threw me! This was about 8 months ago. It still shocks me when even medical people don't have a clue. Unless a "normal" knows an actual type 1, or has been around one enough, they really don't seem to understand.
Sent my hubby out snorkeling by himself at our favorite spot yesterday, really a lot of crude in the water and murky. He doesn't seem to mind but I do! And today he finally got a picture of the shark that is in the protected pools he always likes to swim at. You can see the shape, can't mistake that, but the water there was very murky too so it's very faint. Now mind you before anyone goes a "shark", it's a baby shark, 2 feet long that got into the protected pools and either doesn't want to leave or can't figure out how too. The rocks that protect the pools need some work to shore them up more as waves are coming over them pretty easily right now during high tide. Eventually they fix it. But there is a sign up warning people that's there's a baby shark in the pools to stay out. That's mostly for tourists. They had a barracuda last year, about a 3 foot one that was in the pools for about a year and never bothered anyone until someone decided to tease it and got bit. You'd see it zipping by you or swimming around people that were oblivious and it was kind of cool. But after that they had to figure out how to catch it to put it on the other side of the rocks to the open waters. Everything is protected by law in the pools which I'm happy about.
I told him we should send his family the picture of the shark that he saw lol. You can't tell the size of it at all. It looks like it could be 8 feet long with the picture taken from farther away!!!!! Not 2 feet long and 6 feet away!
