Dipsy Dippin Face

• My New Name is Dipsy Dippin Face Whats YOURS
  
  We all need a little stress-reliever! This only
  takes a minute.
  
  Please don't be a bore and ruin it. Send it on to
  everyone you know including the person that sent it
  to you.
  
  Sometimes when you have a stressful day or week,you need some silliness to break up the day. If we are honest, we have a lot more stressful days than not.
  
  Here is your dose of humor...
  
  A. Follow the instructions to find your new name.
  
  B. Once you have your new name, put it in the
  subject box and forward it to friends and family
  and co-workers.
  
  
  The following is excerpted from a children's book, Captain Underpants And the Perilous Plot Professor Poopypants, by Dave Pilkey, in which the evil Professor forces everyone to assume new
  names...So:-
  
  1. Use the third letter of your first name to
  determine your New first name:
  
  a = snickle
  b = doombah
  c = goober
  d = cheesey
  e = crusty
  f = greasy
  g = dumbo
  h = farcus
  i = dorky
  j = doofus
  k = funky
  l = boobie
  m = sleezy
  n = sloopy
  o = fluffy
  p = stinky
  q = slimy
  r = dorfus
  s = snooty
  t = tootsie
  u = dipsy
  v = sneezy
  w = liver
  x = skippy
  y = dinky
  z = zippy
  
  2. Use the second letter of your last name to
  determine the first half of your new last name:
  
  a = dippin
  b = feather
  c = batty
  d = burger
  e = chicken
  f = barffy
  g= lizard
  h = waffle
  i = farkle
  j = monkey
  k = flippin
  l = fricken
  m = bubble
  n = rhino
  o = potty
  p = hamster
  q = buckle
  r = gizzard
  s = lickin
  t = snickle
  u = chuckle
  v = pickle
  w = hubble
  x = dingle
  y = gorilla
  z = girdle
  
  
  
  3. Use the third letter of your last name to
  determine
  
  the second half of your new last name:
  
  a = butt
  b = boob
  c = face
  d = nose
  e = hump
  f = breath
  g = pants
  h = shorts
  i = lips
  j = honker
  k = head
  l = tush
  m = chunks
  n = dunkin
  o = brains
  p = biscuits
  q = toes
  r = doodle
  s = fanny
  t = sniffer
  u = sprinkles
  v = frack
  w = squirt
  x = humperdinck
  y = hiney
  z = juice
  
  Thus, for example, George W. Bush's new name is: Fluffy Chucklefanny.
  
  
  Now when you SEND THIS ON...use your new name as
  the subject.
  
  And remember that children laugh an average of 146 times a day; adults laugh an average of 4 times a day. Put more laughter in your day.

I was looking around saw these. I was wondering if anyone else saw them or had them they look pretty cool the stick on you infusion set and they come these sizes

Tyson the Skateboarding Bull Dog

I saw this Dog on Rob and Big Black Tv Show on MTV and thought it was cute

i know i missed it but here is my diabetes blog day post and yes i think i always put this story on Diabetes Blog Day


have been target of useless hurtful name calling and physical abuse. I don't know why it started but I had to deal with it for a while. The worst years of the bullying was in Middle School (Grades 6-8). But most of the verbal / physical abuse came when I was in 7th grade. The year started out all right although select few boys thought they would be fun to start calling me names like long neck, giraffe, and ugly boy. Then in middle of the year I found out that I had juvenile or type 1 diabetes and that just made matters worse. After 2 weeks being absent from school, I came back to more name-calling but now they were calling me AIDS Girl.

After I came back I had to go to the nurse and take my insulin injection and glucose reading and they would say better go get your " AIDS Medicine and Needle's" before you die. Also they started to attack me in the halls, push me into lockers and try to push me down the flights of stairs. It impacted me a great deal that after getting everything poured on me at once I started to get more and more depressed. I always was crying and telling my parents that I was never going back to that school.

The principal and some teachers thought I was the one to start everything but they never thought to look at the ones really doing the damage.

I rebounded from all the physical/verbal assults in these years, to get on with my life . I am currently a Junior majoring in Early Childhood Education.( When I decideto go back to college) Also working at a local grocery store

Diabetes Walk T Shirts

This is what my diabetes walk t shirt will have on it. Whatcha think?

Health Insurance

Diabetes and Health Insurance , It is a necessity to have but for some people like me they cant afford it. What are they supposed to do? Die?.
Anyways I dont make enough to get insurance and the government says I work to many freakin hours and make to much freakin money and many wont accept you because you have diabetes. My Job doesnt offer benifits until you work 18 months and I am not even hit a year there yet but im getting there.
Somehow im surviving but not that much. I am lucky enough to get my pump sipplies from my nice cde at the local hospital and i use my dads humalog since he gets like 10 vials of humalog for 3 months and strips ( I hardly test) I admit that . But some people like me arent not so lucky to have others to depend on and it makes me wonder why does your government haver to be this bad

Walk to Cure Diabetes

Greetings!

I'm writing to you to ask for your support in a very special cause.

This year, I'll be taking part in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's Walk to Cure Diabetes along with a half-million other walkers across the country. Our goal: To raise $86 million to help fund research for a cure for type 1 diabetes and its complications.
Type 1, or juvenile, diabetes, is a devastating, often deadly disease that affects millions of people--a large and growing percentage of them children.

Many people think type 1 diabetes can be controlled by insulin. While insulin does keep people with type 1 diabetes alive, it is NOT a cure. Aside from the daily challenges of living with type 1 diabetes, there are many severe, often fatal, complications caused by the disease.
That's the bad news... and yes, it's pretty bad.

The good news, though, is that a cure for type 1 diabetes is within reach. In fact, JDRF funding and leadership is associated with most major scientific breakthroughs in type 1 diabetes research to date. And JDRF funds a major portion of all type 1 diabetes research worldwide, more than any other charity.

I'm writing to ask for your support because now more than ever, EACH of us can be a part of bringing about a cure. Each of us can make a real difference
Won't you please give to JDRF as generously as you're able?
Together, we can make the cure a reality.
Thank you,

Laura Cackowski
