PBS

 That lady on PBS focuses on what people wore, a lot.

I just wondered, who was king way before?
King Edward-something (VII, The seventh)
Someone somewhere in there had a girlfriend, and abdicated.


O, I get it, you're trying to confews me...ha ha.
George V??

Wait, where did Edward VIII come in? (This is hard)
Edward was king for less than a year (1936)
THEN ______, 

OK...
  • Edward VII
  • George V
  • Edward VIII
  • George VI (the one in the can?)



Then his daughter Elizabeth (maybe, IDK)
Then Charles.


Teddy Roosevelt Liked King Edward (VII) a lot, And Edward wanted to meet and greet Roosevelt formally, but Mr. Roosevelt chose to go on a safari first and meet the king later.
Only, Edward died before they could meet, so Teddy went instead to the funeral.

Teddy was the guy with the Panama Canal thing.
If you google Trump and Teddy, lots of bombasts want to compare the two.
Way different much more bombastic blog.

I need to check this for typos and glaringly wrong facts, this is a draft for now.


Those hats and the lighters from the 30's-40's (Wait, I'll get pictures) are what I'd miss most about that time, Our current hats are stewpid.





I'm still looking for the lighters
(bah humbug)










A show on PBS drags whatever subject out, or maybe that's just me having trouble sitting still waiting for their point.
A useful show (to me) would be,
what the hell diabetes-Titration is.
I think I found a chart.
My insurance / med group doesn't do fasting, but apparently that's a factor.

If you lived the life of a statue, never eating nor having any emotions,
the TDI of your combined daily boluses would be roughly
(Link)
But I think I need to add "/4" to calculate one bolus.
200/4 is (um)
50 but then (according to me, myself and I) you divide 50 by 4
to get around 12.
Add to that your meal and the little lie about your weight,
and you get 18, unless you live on tea with a ***-load of sugar, and then it's more.
O, and doughnuts.
And pie.
Subtract one or so for sweaty exercise.


They like to show off and will prolly go metric to describe doses, and change the word "Dose" to another, less readable word (Bolus?) (ml/unit/Kg?)
So they've justified your $400.00 10-minute consultation, because only THEY can decipher such inscrutable terms. mg/dl or mmol/l, is all "X", as a first-year algebra student will tell you (a reading of 100 mg/dL"x" is desirable)
They can't standardize, that would trivialize the arcaneness.




(rant) 
Guilty-pleasure foods that raise cholesterol and sticky-up your brain, because healthy foods recommended by the pezzonovante and food councils are outlawed by your stomach,
Complicate matters (like this badly structured sentence.)
Kale and cabbage with EVOO are nice for pretty young things, but not for me.
Cheese, tortillas, milk, overripe avocados, cereal, $50
(Just sayin') so pissing-off my stomach (and its lower-down workers) is not an option.
Alcohol, perennially a pariah on holidays. They gave up trying to keep you from driving, now they say it causes cancer.
Well anyway, it messes up insulin readings too.

They've known about the dangers of sugar-substitutes since the early 70's, 
but powerful people disagree.

After a few years, your kidneys go on strike and become unemployed.
Dialysis/death follow.
Or were you expecting a happy ending?
