My nephew called from Singapore last weekend

Actually, his mom called to talk to my wife, but i got a chance to talk with him.
It was a short conversation since he does not speak English and I do not speak Chinese.
He said "Hello." That was about all of the conversation. I enjoyed it though. It is a real treat.

Symptoms of diabetes baby boomers need to be aware of

Some scarry statistics on diabetes.
Symptoms of diabetes baby boomers need to be aware of: "Every year, over a million new people are diagnosed with diabetes. About 200,000 deaths are indirectly or directly relate to diabetes each year. It is estimated that over 17 million people in America have diabetes. The sad part is, maybe a third of those people are unaware they have diabetes. A ticking time bomb. If they knew they had it, much could be done to stop its effects"

It's been a long week

It has been a long week. I am looking forward to resting the rest of the weekend.
Why does it seem that I never have enought time to do everything. It seems like even when I have enough time to do something, for some reason the project will take longer than it should. Usually a lot longer. I plan to do some relaxing the rest of the night.

How to Take Great Fireworks Photos-The Not So great Way

Read this if you plan to take your camera to watch fireworks on the 4th of July

How to Take Great Fireworks Photos-The Not So great Way: "Because most cameras nowadays are automatic and do not have a manual mode, it is hard to get a good fireworks photo with them
Many do have a �city night� mode that may let you get some good firework shots."

I used to see so many pictures of firework that did not turn out when I printed photos.

I hate hospitals

I just spent 4 hours in the emegency room of a hospital. Actually, I spent 21/2 hours in the waiting room and 11/2 waiting in the emergency room.
I can't help but think how much faster things would go if they did not have to do all the extra tests. Doctors seem to spend more time just trying to keep from getting sued. So many of the tests are rudundant but are needed just to say "we checked as much as possible, yes, you have ******." Which is what the nurse thought when you came in.
I am not anti doctor. I just think that we should let them be doctors and not lawyers.

Signs and Symptoms of Diabetes

One of the scariest things that happened to me was when my grandma was in insulin shock from diabetes. Try to learn the sypmptoms of diabetes so you can help prevent some of the health problems associated with it.

Signs and Symptoms of Diabetes: "If you suspect that you may be contracting diabetes, check with a doctor first thing. Do not take chances. This site, as any site on the internet cannot replace seeing a doctor in person. Not only that, but diagnosing diabetes early can help mitigate many of the problems. Again, do not take chances, see a doctor if you suspect diabetes."

Nehews and Nieces

Nephews and nieces are so much fun!
Yesterday one my neice was at my work for a few minutes. She is only a year and a half old. It is so cute how she is learning to talk. She is also still a little bit uncoordinated in walking and it is fun to watch her as she has to be careful when she walks.
I have a nephew that was her age last time I saw him. He was just as cute. It has been a year since I have seen him because they live in another country. I hate to think how much I have missed.
I am not a parent. I wonder if parents truly appreciate their own children and how much fun they are to us uncles and aunts. Maybe that's the advantage of being an uncle.

I hate mornings

Actually, I just hate trying to wake up in the morning.
I personally believe the best way to see the sun rise is stay up and wait for it. Followed by a 12 hour nap.
I tend to like working at night.
It seems that I am just getting started on my personal projects around midnight. This is why I have such a hard time with mornings.
I just hope the lack of sleep does not catch up with me someday
