My brother I am in the same boat! I just found out the week after Christmas and have been trying to adjust ever since. My aic (I think that is the right acronym) was a little over 11%, daily average over 300. Changing the diet drastically, just saw the dietitian last week, and exercise , exercise, exercise! My meds are so so, for right now 1000 mg per day of Metformin. Will end up increasing probably to 2000 as my numbers have only dropped to about 230 fasting. But, with diet and exercise the past few days, fasting has been around 173 or so. Don't get down my friend, it's a fight we can win!
Be careful and make sure you regulate your eating habit as much as what you eat. I have to eat 5 times per day. (breafast, mid-morning snack of fruit or v8 or some such, lunch, mid afternoon snack, dinner.) Oh and hydrate often! last week I ended up passing out at work as my sugar dropped out quickly and I had become a little dehydrated into the bargin because of cutting out the sweets (soda) without compensating with water. Walking along and started to list to port, so I sat down in a snowbank, the next thing I know I wake up with a face full of snow. Long story short, I got home and ate a little and drank and felt much better in a very few minutes.

Congratulations! Here's to a long and healthy and happy life for young Jonathan! <raises glass>

haven't gone online yet to play, but man, I love the melee weps! that cricket paddle is explosive! I am in the process of gathering all the steam names from this post to add to my friends list, look for my message if you would add me please!

D boss lady got me L4D2 (haven't installed it yet, but demo was great), and The Force Unleashed. This is a very poor port from the xbox. I have a decent computer and the fps are horrible. The game is great fun, excellent story line, when it goes. I think I have found the issue to be mostly sound oriented, but there are no settings to change.
We also go the new Mario for the wii, holy cow! Great fun, a mix of all of the mario's in one. If you can, get it its great.

Yes, Merry Yule to all of my friends here at DC as well!

We only got about 4 inches last weekend, but it was blowing slightly and sticking very well to all of the stuff. Yesterday we got closer to 6", then a little sleet and rain on top making it heavy.

Our first snowfall photos, enjoy the slides.

Done sister, I will also spread this around with my wifes and my friends list on facebook. Do they have a facebook page?

Happy Thanksgiving to you all, my brothers and sisters! Turkey just went in, all the other fluff is setup and waiting on the sidelines for the right time. (pies are cooling on the table, very hard not to dig into them for us too FlakMonkey).
Laid back day, going to watch some movies (Wizard of Oz is a must, and we picked up Lampoons Christmas Vacation yesterday to watch.) Made a cheese platter for the three of us, and picked up a nice local ( the winery is only about 8 miles away. They have been up there for a few years, but this is the first year wines have been available.)bottle of wine to try with dinner.

Good goddess Big D, what are you like 7 and a half feet tall?

The only thing it lacks is a battle-ax somewhere >

I apologize, E....I couldn't help myself.

LOL, your too much BB!
Well, I'm going a little old school right now, playing through the cabinet. (quake 3, call of dutys 1-mw1,splinter cells , etc) and hit L4D once in a while. My main go to game lately has been Oblivion ( a few days now). That game is massive! (All games in pc, btw.)

And for the love of everything, when you go downstairs to investigate something creepy, turn on the flipping lights!! Grrr!

Spot on! I mean come on, lights make stuff go away! My wife just said the same thing and She can't go into a dark cellar with out thinking she is going to see Mike from Blair Witch standing in the corner (best scene in the movie btw imho) and something coming up behind and grabbing her. LOL

Now hold on, I didn't say it wasn't creepy. The premise of the film is quite good really, well most of it anyway. (the attempt to link back in history with the picture was a bit off, almost like they said "wait, we need some depth here. ....I've got it, <gives coffee boy a picture> burn this a little then lets shoot it!)
I've had some of my own activities in the past, so film doesn't creep me too much (well, for some reason, Regan coming down the stairs upside down and backwards makes me want to pee my self.) but, I can appreciate some of the scenes here. The standing next to the bed for hours (has happened to me in the past twice, once with my wife and once by my brother), sleep walking in general. the pulled off the bed thing, foot prints in the powder (did they really have to use raptor toes?). All good stuff, but the film taken in its entirety was just not pulled off well.
Though the comic relief when the "doctor" came back the second time and was like "um, can't stay here, good luck with that, gotta go." was well done.

LOL, should have read these posts before 1 pm today! Really, if asked for a description of the movie all there is to say is "Blair Witch, inside, no snot."
Now, thats not to say that there were not a few spots in the flick that my hair didn't stand up on my neck, the being dragged out of bed by the foot scene comes to mind, but all in all we should have waited until it came to HBO.
