Important numbers

156-My blood glucose reading this morning. Adding some exercise, as well as watching my carbs is finally working out for me now. I think I'm also getting over a hump caused by my losing my job. My blood glucose had been well over 200 and for awhile I had thought my doctor was going to put me on insulin. Now it looks as though I can keep it down.

1200- The number of this post.

Now I've gotta go for a walk.

Exercize ???

So critical! I think far to many people think they can control their health with diet, but without exercize it is futile.

Those are some good numbers Cliff.
Glad to hear the weather is clearing up enough for you to get out and moving..if for nothing else but for your mental health.

ps. don't tell anyone, but some one called the coach fat boy recently...from the sidelines to the middle of the softball field, during a game. not pretty.
But when we won the game, coach said loudly: Looks like fat boy won!
You cant take that stuff personally...as I know you didn't.

I gotta give you props, Cliff... that is not something I would have taken lightly.

Now, I'm at the library, having walked 1 mile to get here. I will soon walk an additional 2 miles to the mall, then another 2 miles plus back home where I will then, and only then, park my not-so-skinny-now rear end for the evening. :)

Oh by the way, I've gotta get back to providing weather forecasts for the entire 3 state area. As soon as I fix the USB hub on my computer, I will do exactly that at my Tri-State Weather Watch blog...

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee...

Expand My Territories

Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request. 1 Chronicles 4:10 NIV The verse above is commonly referred to as the Prayer of Jabez. I was impressed to find my copy of the book written by Bruce Wilkinson and read it again. Some recent happenings prompted me to reflect upon how my territories have been expanded. The Lord has been blessing me and I have really not deserved these blessings. The past several years, I have been sharing my poetry with my friends on Facebook. I also share the poems with others by writing them on index cards. These are usually received with smiles and people telling me that I should write a book. For years, I have been under the belief that poets and composers achieve the greatest fame after they start decomposing.  The last year or so, I have shared my poems with some best selling author...

From a "Battleground State"

I am going to make this one short and sweet. I live in Ohio, in this election season, one of the so called "Battleground states," a state crucial for any candidate presidential hopes. Of course we have had many visits from presidential and vice presidential candidates. Other blogs have dissected both campaigns so I will not. The only questions I have is will the promises made by either of these candidates exclusive to these states be fulfilled, or will they prove only to be hot air?
