You mean diabetes tea? Don't get me wrong, I used to love sweet tea, but seeing my dad deal with diabetes and feel crappy all the time and knowing that I'm pretty at risk has motivated me to start cutting at least some sugar and carbs from my diet. I have established victory over sweet tea and a very close alliance with its cousin unsweetened tea. Now there's just the beloved enemy known as ice cream that needs to be overcome.
It's seriously like an unhealthy relationship, I know it's not good for me, but I still love it and go back to it and try to find a way to keep it in my life in a small way.
That sounds like McDonald's tea. No kidding, we call it diabetes in a cup. A lot of customers ask for tea with half sweet, half unsweet, just to cut it down to something tolerable. I get about 1/7 sweet, 6/7 unsweet.
I've been to ERs in big cities and small towns, and the wait is about what Ugly said. I'd love to know if there are hospitals where an epic wait isn't SOP.

Well i had a very unlucky night. When I pulled up there were 5 ambulances out front. Then a sixth pulled up. I went nearly three hours not seeing out the window, but once I moved I noticed 2-3 more pull up. So that's 8 that I noticed and 3 hours I didn't have a chance to see.
Not to mention a nurse that seemed to get perverse pleasure from pressing down very hard on my damaged nerve to "test" for a blood clot. Oddly the doctor did not need to press that exact spot.
The city I was in last night is about 242,000.

The weather is lovely, and I was feeling abit adventourous. I don't reach home before my evening classes, so while in Oslo, I thought I could grab a bite of something exotic. Cobblestones gives me literally a headache. The wheelchaor and neck shakes from driving on them. To top it off, I decided to go to the East side of Town. The Ghetto. It was like entering a different planet, and I decided to get back to safety. I felt more at home in Hamburg, Cleveland or Beijing than rolling around there. Safe back on the train heading my home village. It might be the restaurants are not the best or most exotic. But atleast I don't feel like an ailien there.

Yikes, bro Ugly! That sounds like quite an ordeal.
I hope and pray you're feeling better now.
So I live in an apartment, and our parking lot desperately needs the lines repainted. Well, one of my neighbors must really like my car because he/she parked so close to my driver side that I couldn’t get in my car. I had to climb through the passenger side! Ugh!
Well........ I guess that could be plan B.... if I’m not wearing office attire. So only on Fridays. Lol
So today I learned two things.
1. If you make sourdough bread and you're going to make 12 times what the recipe calls for, either you need a larger workspace than a kitchen counter or you are really dumb. I don't have a larger workspace, so guess what that makes me! It was a battle to remember, trying to keep that stuff on the counter and catch tentacles as they oozed over the side and toward the floor. I caught everything and stuffed it all with flour to keep it from sliding down again, but I had to move fast there for a bit.
2. Even a guy with 32 loaf pans can run out of loaf pans if he is dumb enough to make 12 times what the recipe should have been.

Yes. 2 six hour visits a week apart. Fun times haha.
They say it'll take a few weeks to heal, but it's already doing better. I just have to be careful to not overuse it. (=

The temperature here seems to only do extremes- we go from plastic over the windows, electric blanket, miserable below zero weather straight to Why haven’t we gotten the swamp cooler set up yet weather.
For the past six weeks, we’ve been eating completely differently than we used to; no processed stuff (or, at least minimally processed), almost no dairy, only whole grains, no pork, no sugar (except the dark chocolate I won’t give up). It’s been good- basically like a Mediterranean diet, except it’s not a “diet”, we just changed the way we eat. There’s a crazy amount of fresh basil, olive oil and garlic involved in all this. Everyone in the house has more energy and only occasionally complains that they miss cheeseburgers. My husband has dropped almost 30 pounds. Me, I’ve lost a whopping four. And my skin is freaking out- two weeks ago, I had to go to church with a zit the size of Russia between my eyes. It went away during the week, and the next Sunday I woke up to find three new zits scattered across my face like those red pins people use to mark giant maps.
But, I feel otherwise great...and my face will eventually go back to normal, probably. It’s still a bit irritating that my face is trying to impersonate a pepperoni pizza when I don’t even eat pepperoni pizza anymore.
Morning is going to be interesting. By ‘interesting’ I mean ‘all out war’- there’s only one k-cup left, and two avid coffee drinkers in the house. It’s a grocery shopping day, so at least coffee levels will be restored to acceptable, but what if I don’t get to the last one in time? How can I go grocery shopping without first shocking my system into life? On the other hand, how can I in good conscience send my husband to work at 4:45 a.m. without HIS dose of caffeine?
Coffee shortages- the leading cause of marital discord.
