something has completley wipred out my laptop, all files deleted, omly saving grace is it was very old and could do with replacing but i wanted to decide when not some ******* with nothing better to do than make computer virus's
 
Female friends sending me photo messages on the phone, of babies/kids w. food all over their faces.
Ew. Ew. Ew. F*****g d-i-s-gusting!
It helped when I asked why the kid had a disgustingly dirty looking face, and can't people keep their own kids clean anymore? :D
"But it is cuuuuuute?"
NO it isn't! It's f*****g d-i-s-gusting and gross, so please spare me!
And why do I have to look at some unknown relative's gooey baby, when I don't even *know* the people???
Lord knows one's own relatives' kids can be enough, why do I have to look at unknown people's kids as well?
NO I don't go all softie and melt when I look at kids, live with it or f*** off.

I agree with Maria on that one, its almost as bad as pics of babies freshly used potties... scat and golden pics should be adult only - i.e; of, for, and by adults...

Why is di-sgusting got a emote site block onsite? is it a swearword, is it rude, is the site makers/providers/servicers prudes etc? because it doesnt block **** or scumbag or bollox or excetera..

Tis' annoying enough Karl (a perfect excuse to abuse some 'Tension Sheets' aka bubble wrap, if you have some..).
I've probably lost about 1.5TB of info 'collected' stuff (anime series, music, pics, referance mat'ls etc) in the last 5 years, but in my cases, due to a HDD death, a friend (supposed) myself dropping an external drive(s) - so I will not buy a internal or external bigger than 500GB...
 
Being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes a month ago. Not that concerned, with weigt loss and proper nutrition I'm sure I'll have it under control. But, the part that annoyed me is figuring I'll need to use a hammer and nail to draw a drop of blood from my finger to use on the test strip, those puny, Girly-man lancets (my appologies to you girlie men out there) just don't do the trick on my thick skin...
The Wife's a Diabetes Educator so I'll turn it over to her:

Hi. Lots of my patients have the same complaint. I have a couple ideas for you. Stay away from using the index fingers of your hands (esp. the dominant one). Make sure you are using the "sides" of the tips of your fingers, not the pads. Wash your hands with warm (increased bld. flow) soapy water, stay away from using alcohol (makes your skin tougher). Crank up the depth on the lancing device that came with your meter. Usually, it is the "higher the number" the harder it will poke you. If it doesn't have numbers look for "dots" or "pictures of drops" with these types of devices the bigger the dot or drop the harder the poke. The other important thing is is getting the blood to the tip of your finger BEFORE you poke it. Put your hands by your side and clench and unclench them about 20 times (increased bld. flow). This next step is the most important. Whatever finger you are going to poke, take the thumb and index finger of the opposite hand and squeeze the finger in a rolling motion from the base to just above the firnucleolikle (easy to teach in person, hard to describe). Do this about 5 or 6 times. Then poke your finger with the device FIRMLY against your finger. Then squeeze your finger again, as above, until you have a big enough drop of blood for your meter.

If your fingers are just too tough even doing all that, you might want to think about doing "alternative site" testing. Which is just a fancy way of saying using spots other than your fingertips (ie. pads of palms, arm, leg ....etc.). The meters that require the smalamountamout of blood (size of this dot . ) are the Freestyle Freedom lite, Freestyle lite, One Touch Mini, One touch Ultra. But what meter you choose depends upon what meter is best covered by your insurance. If you are still having trouble look-up a diabetes educator in your area (google American Association of Diabetes Educators). If by some chance you live in the St. Paul/Minneapolis area, I have a good friend who is the Diabetes educator at the North Memorial Clinics, look her up.
