Speaking of diabetes & change... I have less of this stuff now. Diabetes is a constant drain on your resources. You have to buy insulin, needles, testing strips for the blood sugar monitor, ketone testing stuff, alcohol, cotton swabs, and more. Then there are the regular endocrinologist appointments, other doctor's appointments, meetings with nutritionists, and training sessions for various diabetes-related equipment and programs.
It adds up.
There's no cure for diabetes. Yet.

Florida Furniture Industries’ origins date back to October 15, 1891, when Henry S. Wilson and A.E. Wilson, two brothers from Saginaw, Michigan, purchased the Tilghman Company mill from Noah J. Tilghman and Sons, establishing the Tilghman-Wilson Company. The name changed to the Wilson Cypress Company on April 15, 1898. At the turn of the century, it was the second-largest cypress mill in the world, producing 80,000 feet of lumber and 60,000 shingles daily and employing over 600 people. At this time, the company also owned more than 100,000 acres of original growth cypress across ten counties in Northern Florida.
Two subsidiary companies opened under the Wilson Cypress Company, the Davis Tank Factory and the Selden Cypress Door Company. Founded by George B. Selden in 1895, the complex included a sash, door and blind factory, planing mill, carpenter shop, door kiln, as well as an elevated trestle which connected directly to the Wilson Cypress Company’s sawmill.
In 1930, Howard Gardner Sr., Fount Rion Sr. and Charles Tanner Jr. took control of Selden, establishing Florida Furniture Industries, Inc. The company specialized in outdoor furniture such as park benches and rocking chairs, eventually expanding into kitchen furniture, and then into dining room and bedroom furniture.
The Wilson Cypress Company shut down its operations on December 5, 1944, but wouldn’t formally dissolve until 1983. Despite the closure of the Wilson Cypress Company, Florida Furniture continued to grow, focusing exclusively on bedroom sets following World War II. At its peak, the company employed over 650 people and was producing around 2,000 bedroom sets every week.
Unfortunately, the business began to decline in the late-1990s due to foreign competition offering similar products at a much cheaper price. The slow economy following the September 11 attacks was the nail in the coffin for the company.
In May 2002, the company suspended manufacturing and were only selling out of what they already had in their inventory. Soon after, they filed for reorganization under Under 11 bankruptcy. Manufacturing resumed on October 30 and ran for six weeks before shutting down indefinitely on December 13, two days after losing their bankruptcy court case. Much of the facility was demolished and only a small portion of the 400,000 square foot manufacturing plant remains there today.

"Saving Mother Earth One Student at a Time since 2004!"
set up the backdrop to try to get more "official" 9 month pics of the baby...and guess who plopped themselves in the middle & said "look at me!". I snapped a few frames to oblige him...and look what I got! ...bed-head, funny hangin' around shirt, chapped lips....and one of the best pictures I've got of him lately. *sigh*
Rutgers University research shows that a gift of flowers creates instant delight and guarantees smiles.
This “mood changer” bouquet is the perfect choice to make someone’s day. Green Cymbidium orchids, hot pink roses, orange ranuculus and some trendy succulents are the perfect combination of today’s most popular flowers. Color has a great effect on mood. These bright and cheery hues can’t help but make you smile and when combined together you know you have a “hit.” This bouquet is special also because of the combination of textures. The “mossy” feel of the 'green trick' dianthus contrasts perfectly with the smooth rose petals, creating the perfect background for them and the other flowers in the bouquet. The succulents lend an interest of their own with their bulbous small petals and the orchids catch our attention with their graphic shape and form.

Within the era of scientifically accepted 'we are the cause of climate change and global warming' and its inevitable consequences, can we afford new and further exploitation of fossil fuels?
"The world possesses the tools and technology needed to reduce carbon emissions, build a more sustainable economy and end our reliance on fossil fuels."
www.huffingtonpost.com/jimmy-carter/climate-change-who-wi...
Currently Wales and the UK are awash with a tied of new fossil fuel exploitation, shale gas, coal bed methane and new open cast coal mines. So often cited as bridging too renewables, or replacing imported fossil fuels.
13 April 2014: IPCC PRESS RELEASE
Greenhouse gas emissions accelerate despite reduction efforts.
"Scenarios show that to have a likely chance of limiting the increase in global mean temperature to two degrees Celsius, means lowering global greenhouse gas emissions by 40 to 70 percent compared with 2010 by mid-century, and to near-zero by the end of this century. Ambitious mitigation may even require removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere."
ipcc.ch/pdf/ar5/pr_wg3/20140413_pr_pc_wg3_en.pdf
All of this new fossil fuel development will bridge to renewables, pay for it, not distract from it? Does our governance seem like they are leading the way to mitigating climate change, are we a shinning example to others countries to follow suit?
Doesn't a global bullet need to be bitten within a short time scale, or is the bullet simply being deflecting for future generations to deal with, and its real impact?

Following her change of command ceremony, Lt. Col. Roshun Steele, commander of the Anniston Munitions Center, greeted the ANMC workforce, guests, family and friends at a reception in her honor.
I developed a habit of emptying the change from my pockets every night early in my career, when I was still uncertain if I would have a job the next day. The coins wind up in any available pint-sized container, usually Chinese soup, or in this case, grated Pecorino Romano cheese.
The backdrop is a Cloud Dome 18% gray Infinity Board . I should have bought the white one first, but the neutral gray had its appeal.
