We have special ordered Moxie (soda) on line. It cost an outrageous amount of money – and was shipped by UPS! I was a little afraid to open the first few bottles, in fear of spraying the interior of my house with the stuff.

We recently found that a local Hippie Store carries the stuff, and is more than willing to ‘special order’ us a case or two – for about $30 less than the UPS order.

“Yeah, all I can say is… 7 am is too early. I climbed atop the dormancy platform at 3:30 this morning, and the sawing, grinding, and nasal profanity kicked-off at 7:00. I could put a full eggplant in each of the bags under my eyes…”

This is the stuff that make me cry, sweat and full on roar with laughter. Jeff, if you remember, you think of me only as an ass.However, if your journeys to the yurt produce this hilarity, I know your book will be a success. It is THE reason i have reading for about 3 years.

ps. i am pretty sure my wife hates you for making me laugh with no regard for my health, what with me almost ‘fallin’ out…an all.’

OK, this is try 5. Now it’s really short. if you want the full response let me know and I’ll put it up on my blog.

I”m 8 weeks away from my BSN. She didn’t have signs that I would expect with hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia or DKA.

The tiny Ziploc was the biggest clue for me. I’ve given a lot of insulin and seem emergency glucose and it’s hardly ever in tiny baggies.

I respect people who manage their diabetes and understand why they need to carry syringes and inusl and glucose and I wish you and your husband all the best.

But I don;t have much sympathy for a junkie who endangers my family and the community by shooting up in the least-safe place she could possibly find.

Seriously, I know you’re an addict, but even so, shooting up on a road where the speed limit is 70 MPH and most cares are going closer to 80!?! WTF! It was incredible that she didn’t kill anyone. And I’ll bet she was pretty pissed when the ER gave her some Narcan and totally killed her high.

Jorge, more than likely what she shot herself up with was Glucose, not drugs. My husband is a Type 1 Diabetic, and we carry an insulin needle and glucose on us at all times, in case of emergency. If his blood sugar dips too low, and we can’t get to food or drink in time, the glucose needle can (and has) save his life. Additionally, she probably looked drugged out with dilated pupils because she was in the midst of a hypoglycemic episode, which would make her appear “stoned and out of it”.
