Too Fat for OmniPod

Posted by Chris on Oct 25, 2010 in Diet and Weight Loss, Exercise and Diabetes | 0 comments
It’s been three straight days going to the gym now, and I feel great.  For the first Monday morning in I don’t know how long, that I weighed myself Friday morning, and then again Monday morning, and I weighed less than I did on Friday.  It was very exciting to see that on the scale.  Basically, I made a decision after having to explain something to my girlfriend that made me realize, ok you need to get serious.  This is what happened. Amanda recently was hired as a fourth grade teacher and had to go to some training on Saturday and when she was there one of the girls she met...

My Thoughts On Stolen Content

Posted by Chris on Oct 14, 2010 in Diabetes Industry | 0 comments
I know there has been a lot of talk about stolen content.  Anybody that steals content should be punished by having their site banned by Google and their hosting company taking their website down.  Unfortunately, this happens so often every single day that it is nearly impossible for it to happen.  First, just actually finding the content is difficult, and then taking actions to get the site penalized, is even harder.  Honestly, people steal ideas all the time for blogging.  If you say that you haven’t then you probably just haven’t realized that you do it.  I’ve taken...

COBRA Insurance Coverage Runs Out Nov 1

Posted by Chris on Oct 13, 2010 in Uncategorized | 3 comments
My COBRA coverage runs out November 1.  Normally I would be concerned and upset about this, but, my new insurance kicks in on November 1, so it’s all good.  I have now been with my new company for officially 90 days, so health insurance kicks in at the beginning of the following month, which would be November.  I am excited about this because it is a better plan than I had before and it also includes vision and dental which I did not have at my former employer because they were cheap asses. I can’t wait to get new contacts, glasses, dental appointment, re-order my testing...

Weekend in Tampa and Site Re-Design

Posted by Chris on Oct 11, 2010 in Life of a Diabetic Weekend Recap | 0 comments
This weekend was a fun filled weekend in Tampa.  This is my first time ever going to the Tampa area and I must say, I’m not impressed at all.  Especially where I stayed, near the airport.  Very ugly, nothing to do, nowhere to go and the roads were very confusing.  On Saturday I went to Busch Gardens, and it is usually an ordeal trying to get into the park with my diabetes bag and all of the goodies inside of it.  Either, this security guard didn’t care or Busch Gardens in general did not care.  My bag included about 4 infusion sets, 2 reservoirs and a vial of insulin, extra...

My Announcements I Promised October 1

Posted by Chris on Oct 7, 2010 in Uncategorized | 3 comments
Another late night post, sorry ya’ll.  I will be going away this weekend to Busch Gardens in Tampa.  I am very excited because I haven’t been to Busch Gardens in almost 15 years.  The last time I went, it was the one in Virginia though and I don’t remember too much about it.  I am leaving as soon as I get out of work tomorrow night and I haven’t even packed for the trip yet. Well, I promised some new announcements on October 1, but I wasn’t able to get online to post anything and majority of the items have been pushed back, but I will still announce them and...
