Something that I've seen in the past is tankers from different companies (Sunoco, Texaco, Marathon, for example) in the same supply depot refilling to deliver to their respectively named gas stations. Where the fuel came from, I don't know. So something like this may not work. Jan

Happy Birthday, Kurt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jan

So in other words, he's trying to kill them with kindness.

Sounds like you'll have quite a summer planned out. As long as this is something you want to do, you should benefit from it. Jan

I knew the camping trip was too good to be true. I figured someone would show up. I half figured it would be that highly misunderstood, pathetic weasel Eric. How will our hero's get out this one? Tune in next week. Same CJ channel. Same CJ time. Jan

If I remember correctly, a Bobcat is considerably smaller than a Mountain Lion. Plus, they have a stub of a tail. Jan

Cats can talk to you in their own way. Beelzebub reminds me of a cat a cousin of mine had years ago. This cat, you couldn't even look at without something happening. She lived up to her name very easily, Miss Asster. Jan

Graeme said, It could have been a distraction to get Eric out of the area. Who knows, maybe when he left the house that night, he high tailed it to the fundies and now they are trying to get him out of town.

I found a few months ago, that by leaving home for work five minutes earlier than I used to, I miss a lot of traffic. I live ten miles from work and there was one spot where I could wind up in traffic backed up one mile. It moved quick enough but still. Once I got past the intersection, I lost about half the traffic. I also live about 15 minutes from two Wal-Marts, one super center and one regular. Jan

Very good chapter CJ. About the only thing I want to add is, I hope the guy's are keeping an eye on the rear view mirrors while they are heading out of town. Who knows who may be watching them at the moment. Jan

An update: Something that I forgot to mention in the initial post is that a sister of mine is and my mother were both type 1's. So diabetes does run in the family. To answer some of the comments/questions in other replies: 1) Normally, I do this twice daily, once in the morning and again before bedtime. If I happen to be in my office before lunch, I will take it before I eat. After todays appointment, at the request of the doctor, I will be taking a reading before my evening meal for a comparison reading to the bedtime meeting. More on this coming up. 2) There times that I know it's working as I can feel things changing, as in going down. 3) As far as daily activities, as stated in another blog entry, the past couple of weeks I've been doing some maintenance work which means more activity. Because of this, I don't take the 3 units of humalog in the morning. And a few times, it's been a good thing. Normally, I may spend a good part of my day in the office. There are days that I feel like a yo-yo where I'm in an out of the office all day. With spring and summer coming, that means the amusement parks will be opening soon and I'll more to do on the weekend. And since the parks seem to like to spread the Coaster out in the park, that means more walking to get to them. At todays appointment, it has been confirmed that I am a Type 1. The oral med's that I take aren't effective anymore. That will save me a few bucks on my co-pay on my Rx plan which ranged from $5 to $35 depending on the Rx. Who knows, maybe the original diagnosis was wrong. But as the doctor said this morning, "The honeymoon period is over." Jan

Here's a sneak peak at the up coming film.

I am so very proud of you Nick. You've assembled yourself quite a team to help you, and that includes the Beta Readers that you have. You and I have been working together since late January 2006 and I've enjoyed every minute of it. You've come a long way since the early days of your writing. You learned from the mistakes you made. You took the suggestions offered and acted upon them accordingly. Imagine my surprise when I found out you were to be reviewed for advancement to HOSTED and I couldn't say anything. CONGRATULATIONS NICK!! Jan aka, The Great TalonRider

Congratulations NICK on becoming a HOSTED author. You've worked hard to get there and you've made it. I couldn't be prouder of you. Jan aka The Great Talonrider

I'd say run for the hills, but that would be too obvious of a place to go. So I guess you should go underground instead to escape. Jan

This is a bit off topic but, CJ & Conner, you're in danger! I caught the end of the show, Iron Chef (American version) last night and the secret ingredient was GOAT meat. Need I say more? Jan

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEVIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

It helps someone keep that lurker status he keeps talking about. Great chapter CJ. Jan

Hhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmm. I think I could use a good Houseboy, or should that be Houseperson, to be PC. Jan

Michaels got something there and I have to agree with what he says. There's the possibility that your dad knows what's going on and he hates to be reminded of it. Some people may never open their eyes to see that they are being manipulated. Some may open their eyes to it, but not know how to stop it. Some finally open their eyes and put a stop to it. It's been said before, but I'm going to say it again. Just because James is older and is treated like a son, doesn't mean that your dad doesn't love you any less. Jan

And if I remember correctly, I think I saw a PA location for you once so I think we're on the same end of the state. Jan

But you'll be on the east coast and he'll still be out west. One thing to remember is, the goat is afraid of my Talons. Jan

Happy Birthday, Lugh

Let's not forget those lovable scorpions. Jan

ROFLMAO
