This story begins almost a week ago on Tuesday, 11/1/2016. I went online to order a refill of Novalog for my insulin pump. After going thru the process, it tells me that they need to get my doctors permission to renew the script and should be available after two pm Thursday. On Wednesday, I called the Doctors office to talk to her nurse. I wind up leaving a message for her to see if I can get some samples to use while I waited. I knew I wasn't going to have enough to last until the Pharmacy can fill the order. Thursday afternoon, I check with the Pharmacy again and place the order again only to find out it would be available until Tuesday, 11/8/16. In the meantime, the phone rings. It wasn't any one I knew so I didn't answer. Shortly after that call, there was a voice mail from the doctors office. They call went straight to voice mail. It was the doctors nurse returning my call over 24 hours later. It seems in the message I left, the person wrote Humalog and not Novalog so she was calling to verify. By then it was too late to get the Novalog from the office as the Doctor had left for the day. In the meantime, I'd been sick to my stomach all day and not feeling good. Why you ask? By this time my Blood Sugar is over 600. Not good. At the doctors office suggestion, I go to the Emergency Room where eventually, I wind up in Intensive Care for observation. Moving forward to late Friday afternoon, one of my doctors there wanted to get me hooked back up to my insulin pump, so I called a friend to get it for me. The hospital I was at doesn't stock and use Humalog so I wound up calling my Pharmacy, which I was going to do on Thursday afternoon. That's when I found out they were still waiting on my regular specialist to authorize the renewal. The hospital doctor wasn't happy about that so he sent a fax to the pharmacy to get some. I then had my friend run out an pick it up. Finally I was discharged from ICU to another room where I remained until after 2:00 pm Sunday when they finally released me.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DDK. ... And back to you ...

I like both. It wouldn't pay me not to like dogs since I meet up and walk with some friends and their dogs on my morning walk.

You can also see a daily list in the lower right hand corner of the main page.

It didn't surprise me to find Indiana Wesleyan U. on the list. IWU basically runs the town. Budweiser was looking to set up a brewery which would have helped the area ecomomy but it was blocked. I grew up in the area.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CIA. May you have many, many more.

I've not seen that show for some time now. Some of the Public Broadcast Service (PBS) stations carried the show.

Happy Birthday, Emi. Enjoy the shiny for the day.

Happy Birthday to our Sly Little Blue One.

I can only see one word barely see the second word. However, if I use the scroll on my mouse to bounce the screen, I can see two words and barely see the third.

Happy Birthday to the scholarly pup.

This one pops up on my screen saver. I've had it for several years.

Happy Birthday Val!

Happy Birthday, Graeme!!

The version shown on BBC America has Sir David doing the narration.

I can only imagine what Sheldon would have to say about this.

Happy Birthday, Pi boy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FAIRY!!

That video is great. I started laughing as soon as the Golden got started. I don't have a dog myself, but I walk daily with a a couple of dog walkers and one of them has a golden and the dog would act like that. In the summer time, it's difficult to get past the ball diamonds. If the dog sees a forgotten ball laying in the field, she'll drag her owner out to get it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GENE!!

I live about 40 minutes from Allentown, PA where they received 31 inches from this storm.

Now it's time to really begin the shoveling out. I had drifts up to my backside yesterday afternoon.

Happy Birthday.

Happy New Year Everyone.

Happy Holidays To You and Yours.
