Big Ben Is Back...Mom's Famous Quote

10/18  Wow! Big Ben is back! In case you haven’t been paying attention to my clues, my favorite football team is Pittsburgh.  I’ll reflect more on that later.  What I really want to put down today is Diabetes sucks!  It’s either that or Doctor’s and Pharmacy’s are co-conspirators.  I’ve had had to deal with being Hypoglycemia all my life.  Whenever I felt it coming on (shakes, sweats light headedness), I just stopped and had something to eat (or a few beers in the glory days).  I really didn’t feel that bad and it was short lived.   But now, every time my blood sugar gets low (and it gets low fast) my symptoms are greatly enhanced; and on top of that I even get a little delirious.  Not light headed, but delirious.  I have to admit though, this last week I have been cheating.  I’ve snuck in some chocolates, pop tarts, cookies and even ice cream into my diet.  All those diabetic no no’s; I did them, and have had to suffer the consequences.  Maybe I should start taking this Diabetes and High Blood Pressure stuff a little more seriously.

I don’t care about his private life (no I don’t advocate allegations), all I care about is Roethlisberger is back.  And at least for this week my fantasy football averages have resurfaced.  Of course, I tanked all my leagues in NFL. I made up for it in ESPN and Maximum.  If you haven’t check out fantasy football before, I have all the major sights on this blog. Feel free to check them out.  As for my home business; it’s making progress.  The Autoresponder is what I’ll mention today.  It took me 2 years to really understand what an autoresponder does.  Basically, it’s a service that sends timed e-mails to your junk/spam file, trying to offer you an opportunity to start your own business.  What a lot of people don’t know is that autoresponders do a heck of a lot more in the business world.   The Autoresponder I have is a free basic service. I’ll touch more on this in my next post.

Back to when I was in high school; I used to have a lot of parties at my house.  Looking back on it, this was my way of trying to fit in with the in-crowd.  Even though I was bigger and looked better (dropped the birth control glasses) I still didn’t have too many friends.  Those that I thought were friends, didn’t give a rat’s A** about me.  But the Jack Daniels Cold Beer parties I had were famous.  My mom even walked in on one and didn’t have a clue.  She was on lunch (late evening) break and thought she would stop by to see how I was doing at home on a weekend.  We managed to hide the 3 1 gallon bottles (or whatever size the biggest bottle is) and pretended to have a friendly poker game.  The shot glasses were under the dining room table and the girls had gone to get chips.  My mom made this classic comment that I tease her about today:  “you should have told me you were going to have friends over; I would have bought some sodas and snacks or cookies.”  Boy, what she didn’t know at the time.
