Insulin Pump Users

Howdy all,

I have just had to change jobs and no longer have life insurance. Do any of
you know where I can get some privately?

I went for my bi-weekly EPO injection today. The lab
tech asked if I had registered yet; yeah, about 1/2 hr. prior. She couldn’t
find it in the ‘puter. Then asked how to spell my last name. She had me as
Janet Hughes. I told her, no *s* it’s a *y.* She said it looked like Hughes
on the fax order and she had to add this to my standing orders. I asked why.
She showed me the paper. Now, I have 12 *-ologists* but NO Dr. Baxter. She
insisted. I said he is not my doctor. She said maybe I didn’t remember
seeing him. (Is that a complication of DM too??)
After a couple of phone calls the registrar came in and said it was her

of breast cancer is antiperspirants."

As I’ve noted elsewhere, life has taught me never to attribute to malice what is
adequately explained by stupidity. People like to believe lies that make them
feel morally and intellectually superior.

This particular one, however, is egregious.

Breast cancer is an ancient disease, and was very common in the descriptions of
old Roman physicians. It’s also common in animals. And if you control for the
fact that more women are living longer and having fewer children (childbearing

This is the last day I’ll bug you about this voting thing.
JDF is guaranteed to receive $10,000 but could receive a
$25,000 donation if Leeza Gibbons receives the most "smooches" until
2/14/00.

Right now Leeza is #2. We don’t like #2 and we won the $50,000 donation on
that accenthealth fundraiser.

Thanks for all your efforts! <3 <3 <3

I will be in Indianapolis for a meeting (9:00-11:30) at Shapiro’s Deli on
Saturday, February 19, 2000. Afterwards, we will have lunch there. The deli
is located in the 800 block of South Meridian. I will wear a bright yellow
blazer trimmed in black so you can spot me. Want to meet? E-mail me
privately.

Of course, this all depends on road/weather conditions.
