sales

 No one wants a chronic ailment (diabetes isn't actually a "disease", is it?)
But all the people getting all happy you have it, is pretty damned obvious:
The needle people (lancets and syringes)
The insulin-people 
The drug companies making Glipizide, Metformin
The list is longer and much more depressing,
Plus they don't actually say "Don't eat this, eat that,"
you'd have to learn from a magazine in the waiting room.
The waiting room for an A1C test,
The waiting room for the doctor or the dietician
("White Rice bad, beans good")
So pick up the damn magazine, and find this pillowy-soft sales pitch:

I really, honestly want to know, if body-parts, the important ones anyway, are affected by low ("controlled")
Sugar. 
Yes, they'll (The magazines) tell you, Beans are bad, m'kay, they'll tell you it's better to keep your glucose low with proper foods, rather than eat tons and shove insulin into yourself, because that way leads to fatness.
So there's this disconnect between what the doctors say and what magazines say, that's all I'm saying.
Did you know, for example, that Sourdough-bread is good for you?
Not sure why yet, and my sugar goes ballistic when I eat bread anyway.
But if you're gonna eat bread (because, "Fucket") make sure it's sourdough.
With Thanksgiving coming up, time to read more magazines, send the pictures to the host.
OK that's rude and unforgivable...or would you rather pick at your food, come thanksgiving?

This is *totally* a rant...unless you mention food, they almost never bring it up.
Beans.
Less tea.

If you're a somebody, anything you do  is awe inspiring, A nobody will get made fun of.
Question: what if a Nobody wears Somebody's watch?
The new GUI

The mystery of the dangling, leaking soap-bottle:
OK they're delicate plastic. Overtightening them even a little, possibly pushing on the bottom of the bottle to verify it's tight, Might crack the neck. The bottle, cracked and mortally wounded, hangs on for dear life but eventually dies and bleeds under the sink.
I mean, it's never happened to me, and *I* have no problems with the bottle, but this was a gratuitous guess.
*Did* I overtighten it, not seeing the actual connection (It's difficult unless you creep under it)?

This next bit might sound weird, so let's discuss adjectives (or nouns, adverbs, whatever)
The stuff coming out of the thing:
The old one took a push that involved strength, especially if you were sitting.
The *new* one (the first ten minutes) is easier to push, returns exactly to its starting-position,
and more soap comes out.
Was it worth it? (what, you're kidding me, right? phht)
