weather beacon with red and blue lights which use a code to present the local weather forecast using a popular rhyme as a mnemonic steady blue clear view flashing blue clouds due steady red rain ahead flashing red snow instead during baseball season flashing red means the boston red sox game has been called off on account of weather in october of 2004 the beacon flashed red and blue to commemorate the boston red sox world series victory this was the first time the color scheme changed since the beacon was lit in 1950 a new line was added to the poem accordingly flashing blue and red when the curse of the bambino is dead the beacon again flashed red and blue when the red sox won the 2007 world series diabetes bloggers blog archive april 2009 1 july 2008 1 april 2008 2 march 2008 1 february

promote a website and an opportunity to win a free ipod shuffle here s the link http technewsmadesimple com 2009 04 02 ipod shuffles promotion the promotion ends april 15th tomorrow so go take the short survey and then get back to doing your taxes posted by mel at 9 00 am 2 comments thursday july 24 2008 i was reading another d blog and actually clicked on the link to my blog to see if i still existed in on the internet and i do things have been entirely too stressful work diabetes crap work did i mention work the exciting diabetes news i m not ready to share the bad is that i got my one touch ultra link i love it the only two things i d change would be to make it smaller it s pouch is the size of a small purse i went to the cosmetic aisle at target and bought a small make up bag to store it in instead of that huge black pouch and i wish there were an option from the meter to tell the pump to bolus like a remote option that would be sweet i like that there s one less step to get my blood sugar in for a bolus though i m off again as if anyone reads this but oh well i don t blame ya nothing new ever happens here posted by mel at 8 35 pm 8 comments saturday april 12 2008 mel needs you have probably seen others who have googled their name needs and reported the results here are mine i had to ignore a few that refered to mel gibson in particular who knew the man needs help mel needs help sure if you can cook clean and pay my bills wonderful mel needs to handle the sales end while some one else runs the company um ok no thanks mel needs to relax amen however i need to get a ton of stuff done too see above mel needs help mel needs to focus on herself and heal probably not extremely relevant currently as i m not sick mel needs to learn from martha i don t know any marthas except for the biblical martha but she was kind of the negative example in the story so maybe not so much mel needs a blog have one thanks mel needs a laptop computer again have one but if someone s giving away a new mac laptop that s be amazing mel needs to sit the down and shut the hell up ouch don t really know how to respond to that mel needs your prayers certainly wouldn t hurt at this point ridiculous early morning blood sugars and stressful life right now mel needs an english class well i don t think so but i d love to learn spanish close i guess posted by mel at 6 52 am 3 comments labels meme wednesday april 09 2008 6 word meme i was tagged by lili for the 6 word memoir i m just getting around to it now i really had no idea what to say here are my 6 words much i know but don t wanna i ve been having a rough week haven t been feeling well and am feeling a little stressed tuesday s dinner was going to be an english muffin from dunkin donuts as i pulled up to the drive thru it struck me a little differently i know how many carbs are in an english muffin i don t want to i wish i didn t tonight it occurred to me that i don t want to know about pumps and infusion sets as i changed mine many of us in the oc have complained about the ignorance of diabetes and especially type 1 that we encounter in others i have a confession to make i wish i were one of the ignorant people pissing you all off with my questions and wrong assumptions i suppose this phase will pass soon enough perhaps after a good night s sleep or a couple of nights i can only hope posted by mel at 7 36 pm 3 comments labels meme saturday march 15 2008 silence and my trip well there s been a silence over here i was posting quite a bit but then i was sidetracked by a project and an upcoming trip i leave today for honduras for a week i m a bit more nervous about the diabetes element of this trip than any of the other places that i ve been so wish me luck if you d like to know more about the trip you can see the other project i was working on here happy st patty s day i ll be far away at that point and missing the corned beef dinner i love so much however i did suggest we have corned beef for easter when i return and was told that wasn t an option we ll be having a clam boil so much more traditional posted by mel at 4 21 am 2 comments labels travel thursday february 07 2008 whoa long time i ve been working on another project and have been so busy with that that i haven t gotten to post here at all i put a site in my leg for the very first time tonight if you haven t tried it i have no complaints so far i m pretty much betting that i ll rip it out very very soon but i m hopeful i had an endo appt recently and it went much better than my last few visits with her she was pleasant and i didn t feel like a failure or disappointment i m even considering weight watchers like she suggests every appointment does anyone have experience with the online program my a1c went down from 8 to 7 8 or was it 7 6 i think it was 7 6 7 8 was my guess before my appt anywho the logs i showed her were horrible but due to her illness my appt was bumped back two days so i was able to correct the issues and go into the appt with some better numbers she suggested i print my logs every two weeks in order to see these issues and be able to motivate myself to get back on track i think that s exactly what i need posted by mel at 5 59 pm 3 comments labels a1c joslin weight loss tuesday january 15 2008 lows and basal testing doing things one day at a time is not just about losing weight but about overall health and accomplishing things that i ve just put aside in life i ve done fairly well to be disciplined and not eat after 8pm but like all things i ve been thrown some curves namely a ton of lows i went through my meter s history and 1 6 out of my last 50 readings were under 90 i woke up last night at 2 am with a reading of 37 the night before 40 and the night before that 3 readings in the 60s before my head even hit the pillow oh and i m sitting here sipping a half glass of oj because i m clocking in at 91 after 2 hours of volleyball and my track record doesn t exactly indicate that i m going to hold steady this all means that while i ve not eaten between 8pm and bedtime most nights i ve been eating sometime between midnight and 7am most mornings one seems to negate the other no so this week i m aiming to get in two overnight basal tests tomorrow night wed and hopefully friday or saturday night tuesdays and thursdays i m exercising after dinner so it s really hard to gauge and i think i can only take one night of up every hour and still make it to work on time hopefully since i ll still be keeping up with the absence of food after 8pm having my basals in order will make it a little more fruitful i really hope i can wake up to each alarm tomorrow night getting half way through the night and having to do it again just isn t going to work for me how often do you do basal tests posted by mel at 7 56 pm 4 comments labels basal testing one day at a time older posts home subscribe to posts atom
