@ Blivet, I was actually born in Tucson and lived there till I was 10. I've been in Glendale (borders Phoenix) for the remaining 25 years. We lived close to Davis Monthan so as a little guy I used to watch the A-10's doing their thing.
I got a bitch about the Air Force. After 23 years distinguished service my brother just got a forced medical retirement for completely bogus reasons. Ten or so years ago he came down with diabetes so they pulled him off active flight duty (he was an FE on a blackhawk) and put him in administration. For each yearly medical review since then they've had zero problem with his diabetes because it hadn't worsened or interfered with his duties in any way. Now all the sudden it's a huge problem and they forced him out. 23 years exemplary service and they can't even have the decency to let him get the last two years he deserves and retire as Major. Now he has to settle for Captain's with 23 years and I feel like standing outside the recruiters office to let the kids know how the military rewards it's hard workers.
PayPal's another bitch - they're are a bunch of morons. They've arbitrarily decided they're going to save the world by refusing their service to ebay transactions for reloading tools and components. Somehow in their minds I guess since NO mass murders have EVER reloaded the ammunition they used to waste people they'll save lives by doing this?

Neph................are you one of the "stars" of the Geico Caveman Adds" by any chance? They are pretty hairy!!(lol).
Sucks about the Air Force, my boss (who is an asshole anyway) is an ex marine who was supposidly "forced out" also on medical reasons (probably because his head could not be removed from his ass), he says it was for a blood disease but it has been (supposidly) proved that he didn't have it after all!
Sadly though what was ok one day is not the next, sucks man!!

I agree with you Neph, the government has a way of sucking all they can out of people, then tossing out the lifeless, empty husk of humanity and saying "Whoops that sucks, now on with your life." With different big cheeses and staffing needs, the military has a habit of "surplusing" certain AFSC's out of existance, so if you have given X number of years, and they don't need you, well, they find a way to make you go away, and you can't sue them, nor get a real legal challenge to their authority or their decision making rationale. In otherwords, they own you lock, stock and barrel.
Tell your brother I salute him and thank him for his service, just wish that there was a happier ending to his carreer.

Back in the day when I was in the service watched the Gov't kick out lifers so they only got partial retirement if any, made my decision not to stay in after seeing that.Took the day off for needed break after visiting a seniors home and seeing what they're trying to live on.My bitch the gov't can take care of the able bodied slobs with food, housing, medical,but can't help seniors that have worked all their lives to retire in their own homes.

I walk through Chinatown on my way to work. A couple of weeks ago, I gave this cute little chinese boy of about 8 or 9 dressed in a catholic school uniform a couple of dollars (getting money from me isn't easy LOL). He said he needed money for the bus and cheap as I am, I couldn't say no (very unusual for me). I've seen him all over center city hustling people ever since. The adorable little monster will probably make more in a month that I do in a year LOL!

My Bitch just did this to one of our cars!!!!!
The car is(was?) a 1988 Volvo 740 turbo.
This car was in excellent condition up until midnight last night.
She swerved to miss a kangaroo,hit some gravel and lost control at 110 kmh.She estimates the car rolled/flipped 5 or 6 times before coming to rest.She walked away without so much as a scratch.Tommorrow she is playing superleague beach volleyball!!!!Thank god'(and I'm not a religious person) that I've been driving volvo's for more than 15 years.
I'm a bloody Volvo driver with a wife who,in a lesser well made car may not be with me now.
Guess what our next car will be??
Here she is this afternoon resting and still very much alive
.........I
love my bitch!!!!!!!!I also loved that car.........That's why I will look for another and keep this one for spares(it still starts!!!!)
Regards Crowy..

My Bitch today: Good ol' Gerry need to go to the doctor! I've been on a diet because I gained 30-35 pounds after I quite smoking last June. Whith a seriously bum back and neck and a borderline sugar problem on top of it, I decided to start heeding my doctor's annoying lectures. This week, I weighed myself and I've now lost 20 of the pounds. I was delighted! Yesterday I cheated; I had a nice thick steak for dinner and bought a chocolate cake. After dinner I went into this serious daze...like a fog and just went to bed. It happend again twice this morning. I was tying in another thread and started feeling weird. I sat in my chair watching the tube and its like I was have these intense dreams but while awake ... somewhere in the back of my head as if at a distance, its like I was telling myself "Snap out of it!" I'm not sure but I'm thinking that maybe my "borderline diabetes" may have crossed the border! I still feel a little "out there" as I type. Off to the doctor on MOnday!

yup that sounds like sugar problems gerry. you will need to fast for 12 hours and then have you're blood checked to see where you're levels are at. should be between about 85 to 105. staying active working out and eating right(NO POP) should correct it if it isn't to bad. good luck

@aabbccdd...my mom, both her parents and all her sisters were/are diabetic. My mom and grandad had type 1; her father lived until almost nighty but mom's was totally uncontroled no matter how hard she tried; she died at 65 and she looked like she was 90...it was a truly horrible death as one system after another shut down and the laws regarding life support in Rhode Island were so severe that they wouldn't just let her die in peace. At least I won't get that type as it would have showed up years ago my doctor said. I tested at 150 and certain pancreas or liver tests or something were abnormal and they told me that it was a matter of time. I was pretty good for a while but went back to my old habits. I've been on a diet for the last few weeks but when I cheated yesterday, damned, that's NEVER happened to me before. I'm also going to stay away from that nutrasweet stuff too ... you wouldn't believe what that stuff use to do to my mother! Well, I'm feeling a little tierd but o.k. The cake went down the garbage disposal this morning...and I don't mean my mouth LOL!

CHEERS AND A STRAWBERRY POPSICLE WITH OUT SUGAR FOR YE ALL
Normal Values
Levels up to 100 mg/dL are considered normal.
Levels between 100 and 126 mg/dl are referred to as impaired fasting glucose or pre-diabetes. These levels are considered to be risk factors for type 2 diabetes and its complications.
Diabetes is typically diagnosed when fasting blood glucose levels are 126 mg/dl or higher.

Hmmm interesting information if not a bit scary:
The first time I tested (after fasting) at 150. Two weeks later, after behaving myself, it was 108 after fasting. I stayed away from the crap quite diligently for a while but returned to my old habits especially after I quite smoking. I didn't really notice anything until I went on a diet for several weeks and then cheated.
Actually, I'm still really tired so I'm going to take another nap LOL! Perhaps I can return to that dream of the thached hut with the Macaw parrots! ...no large screen tv or computer though so I'm glad I wake up (knock on wood!) :0

Just reading about Tucson up the top, so thought I'd just add that I'm going to Tucson all summer to stay with my aunt, uncle and grandparents. $71 one way flight from Madison (WI), cheap as hell.

Yeah gerry1 must be the time of the year my sugar went off on a rampage. My signs for high are tired and sore and an all out effort just to get up.When it goes ballistic I see rings and really blurred vision and skin infections.When I go below 130 I'm freezing. 140 is where my body seems to like the best. Probably if I quit the cowboys it'd be better. Chris

If you know someone with a glucose monitor meter you can check your glucose before you go to doctor. You can also get the sticks from drugstore to tell if your spilling sugar into your urine, not a good thing for your kidneys. Ravinous thirst, blurred vision, peeing constantly all sign of diabetes.

That was the strange part on mine was the only symptom I had was blurred vision which I blamed on age. I knew all the symptoms cause half of my mothers brothers and sisters had it and my grandfather then my son has type 1.The only reason I was found was a swelling in the groin that was operated on and drained and a month later came back again.At that time after being told it'd be a week before I could get into my doctor I waddled into the emergency room not caring that my ins wouldn't cover it.A simple test and the doc at Er came out and said I had sugar. I questioned why my doctor never found this knowing my medical history and rels.I also asked why at the other hospital before and after the operation with all the blood tests why this didn't show up? My guess is nobody ever looked at the results and just charged the HMO.Later on found out this Doctor wasn't just me and a few others with different serious afflictions never got diagnosed till going to another doctor.Sorry about the rant wasn't planning on going on this far but old Demons came back and got me Peeved all over again

Beverly Hills teen held in hammer attack
Sat May 19, 3:13 PM ET
LOS ANGELES - A Beverly Hills teenager attacked a prep school classmate with a claw hammer as they sat in his Jaguar, authorities said.
A juvenile court judge on Friday said the 17-year-old must remain in a psychiatric hospital where he was admitted after being taken into custody Monday. He was charged as a juvenile with attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon.
The teen's lawyer, Patrick Smith, said his client was troubled but declined to elaborate.
The teen, whose name was not released because of his age, attacked the female classmate at Harvard-Westlake School as they sat in his car on a Studio City street, authorities said.
The 17-year-old girl's mother, Barbara Hayden, told the Los Angeles Times her daughter was struck 40 times with a claw hammer, breaking her nose, shattering her leg and splitting open her scalp in several places.
"Her hair and face were caked with blood," Hayden said. "On the left side, her head was shaped like a football."
Hayden said her daughter told her that before pulling the hammer from a backpack her classmate said he had thought about committing suicide.
After her attacker hit her several times, the girl's mother said, he pulled her from the car by her hair and continued assaulting her until the hammer broke. Then he began to choke her until she bit his finger.
