You could wear the rings off of a 283 Chevy, put anti-foulers on the sparkplugs...

Wish I had one of them for one of the car projects. There is a 327 slated for that project, tho.

Did you know the 283 was available with a fuel injection system in the '57 model year? Some corvettes and the good old '57 Chev had that option.

I like big bolts and i cannot lie

It's not the size of the bolt, it's how you use it!

Nocturnal Hyperglycemia = Common in diabetic patients. Or Dawn Phenominon. Stress can also result in glucose spikes as well as other things.

A friend of my daughters is diabetic. Sometimes (when she was young) we would have her stay over to give mom a break. We'd have an alarm set to check her blood sugar at 3am. Her mom didn't get many full nights of sleep...

My dad is always high in am.... i am thinking i am going to change his long acting to night time. He eats a big dinner and needs coverage then. Sliding scale and januvia for daytime. I have to think about it a little longer

Blueberries are good for you!

I love fresh blueberries but very much dislike them when cooked into something. They become all mushy and soft and just ick

Even a mis-timed or a bad cup of coffee is a good cuppa coffee!

Agree to disagree... I've had some bad cups of coffee that were just, truly... bad
Shout out to the couple places that warned the coffee was bad before offering it.

You body gives you a glucose surge around 3 or 4 am. Preparing your body to handle the morning.

There can also be a histamine dump and several other chemical and hormonal processes that kick off around that time.

Grand Central Station rush hour for the body in that twilight hour. Can be difficult to sleep through sometimes.

Found a Mushroom/wild rice soup recipe gonna whip up tonight.

I am here for the reviews!
If it passes muster, would love a share on that recipe, too. I love mushrooms and wild rice... but have always had them in two separate soups, not together. Sounds very

You probably want more than just two strokes before it blows...

That was so nice of you guys!
Moms so often really, really need a break. So lovely of you to recognize and do that for her.

To me, bad coffee is bitter. I prefer local roasters coffee beans that I grind before brewing.

Don’t forget they had to milk a cow or two, get the critters fed and tend to any other chores BEFORE they fed themselves. I grew up listening to my grandparents telling stories of life on the farm. Even though I was only a couple generations removed, It felt real and normal. My granddad would rise at 3-4 every morning. In bed by 9. It’s what he did all his life and it never changed.

Granddaughter duty all day. Need to replace a fixture, so gonna knock that out early. Found a Mushroom/wild rice soup recipe gonna whip up tonight. It’s soup weather now.

I didn’t have a dog in the fight, but that World Series was the best I’ve seen in ages.

Have a wonderful Sunday…and now the MZ——

In one of my last bouts with poison ivy it was spreading what seemed to be weeks later. The doc reluctantly gave me prednisone and told me to back track and find the source. The not cleaned tool banister doorknob…. No way PI is in your blood stream. Still getting worse I re-nacted the day. I always put my car outside the garage when I work. That day I volunteered to clear out years of volunteer weeds and trees in front of my neighbors front porch. A little acetone on a clean rag and cleaned the arm rests and steering wheel in the car. Finally stopped the spread.
One of my worst bouts with PI and how I refuted the source and spread theory was one Christmas morning. My girl and I slept on the floor at her sisters. The house was full like 20 of us. On the floor Reece the chocolate lab that resembled his name slept with us. Remi was there for a while too. I woke up itchy and by mid day covered with the stuff. I don’t know what I took home with me that could have been spreading it or reenforcing it but I was weeks with the stuff. How I got it was Christmas Eve Pauli had the dogs out running loose in the Poconos chasing deer. Must not need leaves on the vine to get it either. Sometimes now I feel afraid of dogs I don’t know where they’ve been.

The oil from poison ivy can stay active for a year! So if you have it in your tools, or your shoelaces, or your boots etc, you can keep on getting it.

Worst I ever had it:
1. As a teen, we were partying in a field that must have had a metric fuck-ton of PI. I was super itchy so I took a hot bath before I went to bed. Essentially it was the worst possibly thing to do - it made the oil spread all over my body. Two weeks worth…

2. About 20 years ago I was weeding the garden. I pulled a “weed” out of the garden that was actually PI. Well… the roots have the most concentration of the oil. And then I worked the rest of the day, seeeating, rubbing my head and brow.

I needed up having PI all over my face and head. It was awful.

Both times were about 2 weeks worth of living in fuck city…
