I was trying to put some pure acetone which I just bought for 5 dollars for 32oz into my car

Only 41 and I’m falling to pieces! I had vegetables for lunch (eggplant with cauliflower curry) and at 2:00 p.m. I’ve got hypoglycemia symptoms: a test pattern over my left eye and a migraine starting in my sinuses. And that’s after having bacon, eggs and toast for breakfast!
I hope my vision gets back to normal before I have to leave for church at 4:30!
Oh ugh.
I hope you feel better soon! What a lousy way to usher in a new year!
It happens when I don’t eat enough, but I thought with the protein at breakfast the vegetables at lunch would be okay.
I’ve had some baba ganoush, two pieces of pita bread, and a handful of corn chips, and the eye’s working again, although my nose still feels like a shoe.
that's what you get for NOT eating FLESH!
hoping you feel better & SOON!

Staying away from most carbs is the only way I can keep the hypoglycemic episodes from my doorstep.
I mostly eat proteins, and only enough carbs to say I did it. Over the years, I’ve learned what will sustain me better, and what is to be strictly avoided.
Vegetables are not on my list of things to eat, except asparagus, red potatoes, beets and ice cream. ;o]
Otherwise, I eat meat and dairy, and lots of eggs and bacon. I also cook with lard. It all gets tiresome after a while, but I have to stick with it or pay the price. Like you’re doing today. That really sucks.
Your migraine is contagious. I have the flashing lights and can hardly see what I’m trying to do, so I’m going to lie down in the dark and the cool...
I hope you get a handle on that stuff, soon.
I’m doing better - should have had peanut butter, though!
I hope YOU feel better soon, ‘Face!
I’ve had the blood sugar problem since childhood, and that’s not a good thing, since type 1 diabetes runs in my family. I have to watch what I eat and how much, some might say I obsess over it.
Start on a hypoglycemic diet, and stay away from anything that is high in carbs, like fruits, breads, pasta, white potatoes, etc. Center your meals around protein (meat, eggs, whole milk, butter [not margarine] cheese, and other meats, and eat vegetables in lesser amounts than they tell you to.
Nutritionists are so far out in left field these days it’s not funny. Since carbs turn to sugar in your blood almost immediately, you should avoid them like the plague.
If I change the ratio of protein/carbs that I eat, I end up with blood sugar that I can’t control.
So be good to yourself! *hug*

I do -- but it has to be the nice, cool, dry Great Pacific Northwest kind of rain, not the wet, sloppy, everything's dripping Eastern rain.
Well, okay, I'm half-kidding about the "dry." But this was a warm rain, the kind that creates muggy weather. I'm sure folks back East would laugh, in that what we have right now would be considered near-pleasant. It's the kind of temperature and humidity that as long as you're in a breeze it's okay; when the breeze stops -- ugh.
Went to pull out and test the camping gear in the garage when we got home. After 20 minutes I was soaked.
(Then discovered we had no Internet connection. After a few tests decided it was the DSL provider's side. Called, and sure enough -- in 2(?) years the first outage not caused by regional power blackouts. Got on through the cellphone and rediscovered why I don't like big photos.)
LOL! Then just show us the small ones!!
I had a raging migraine earlier, so I went to bed and slept for two hours. I couldn't read, couldn't watch TV and darn sure couldn't FReep!
I know what you mean about the "wet" and the "dry" rain. Here, we'll get storms that may last off and on for most of a day or two, but the humidity is still in the 30's. ;o])
I hope you get appropriately Northwestern weather for your camping trip.
I had a great great there at First Manassas with some cannon in the center of the “stonewall”.
Hi guys. Tomorrow starts Vacation Bible School and if you’ve never been you can hardly imagine what a 3-ring circus it can be. I probably won’t be up for reveille in the morning as I am taking a day-off from my day job to be ready for the evening kickoff of VBS. We’re mostly ready for 150 or so kids, but I would appreciate any spare prayers you have on hand.
Lights out as I need to rest up after an unusually busy Sunday. I had the MC gig at first service which involves a couple mini sermons and some praying. It went so well (thanking God) that I got asked to do second service as well. That plus regular duties plus required appearances at two afternoon gatherings (the bane of a pastor’s waistline) and I have had just about enough fun for one day.
So... goodnight.
Wrong direction. Clicking to a thread with HUGE (megabyte) photos means you get to wait... and wait... and wait... (go off and throw something on the BBQ) and wait... and wait... (go off and eat it) and wait... and wait.. *\:-|
Thanks, but I'm hoping for high-elevation northern California weather -- dry, sunny, maybe hot midday but jacket-cool at night. I can do with that quite easily for a few days.
The tent we're taking hasn't been rain-proofed for decades, but experience says in wet weather if you don't touch the fabric when it's wet all will be okay.
Last time I worked a VBS was in 1967.
I’m back in position in Humisdistan.
Getting homesick for the place I was visiting.
Massive frustration trying to get on through Motorola cellphone. They make great "radios" (including cellphone radio elements), but their cellphone software is IMHO at best marginally acceptable, and their BVRP computer software to work with the cellphone is clearly driven by marketeers: lots of pictures of obnoxious "hip" children, but the software itself fails far more than it works. C**pware.
My next cellphone will NOT likely be from Motorola. Not sure it'll even be from T-Mobile, though they get a *few* things exactly right for me where most of their competition don't. I just ran across a features/cost/benefit spreadsheet we did a couple years back, the last turning point, and in about a year we'll re-address it. Overall I've liked T-Mobile (since about '98, VoiceStream) despite their poor non-urban coverage. But their policies are becoming increasingly less and less "loyal-customer" friendly and increasingly cheap.
Maybe the best policy is to let the latest two-year signup run out (REALLY easy with T-Mobile's aggressive upgrade policies!), and then try the (next? or new?) best.
In any event, Motorola BVRP wasn't able to reconnect with the cellphone, so I was offline until my DSL provider fixed things. Kudos to Centurytel: better service than my employer supplies, in turn far better than Motorola/T-Mobile.
I got home a couple of hours ago and started feeling sick...
Go Figure.
