Apparently it has something to do with a deviant behavior called feedism. I didn't even know it existed but it seems to be a big thing in some circles. I would say more but figure I'm in enough hot water with this list right now. peace, DJ "God speaks through me." George W. Bush, July 2004 "Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we.

Thanks for taking some of the heat off! Don't let this one bad experience keep you from posting here. You can't make everybody happy all of the time. Like you said, that is just your sig file, not something you're putting up for discussion. I don't know why it was taken the wrong way. Unfortunately, in a public forum, that can happen. BTW-I read the info you included about the kidney transplants. God bless you! I hope you are doing well with the current kidney! Take care!! stacy DJ <dee.jay1@... Hi Stacy, yes I have read your post. I didn't mean this last one to sound argumetive...just trying to explain why I don't feel my sig file means I am discussing politics. I just think 'W' says some amusing things. I am sure there's a lot of people who disagree. I knew when I sent the original post that it wasn't Type 1 related, but still thought it would be interesting since I beleive everyone on this list deals with health & eating issues. I thought after all the <!--more--> disagrement over 'suffering' from diabetes that this issue was something where we all could say what in the world is she thinking? I won't be posting anything but Type 1 diabetes related stuff in the future, if I post at all. peace, DJ Type 1 since age 17 (1973) First kidney transplant April 6, 2000 (from husband) Transplant rejection (due to meds interaction) & dialysis June 2003 Second kidney transplant May 9, 2004 (from donor) God speaks through me."

I think the problem may be that the 14K calories per day is only loosely related to diabetes, more so T2 than T1. I did not get that post, just the one where somebody asked you not to discuss politics. My apologies. Yes, that lady truly IS setting herself up for problems. Unfortunately, some people have such a need for attention that they don't care what damage they are doing to themselves. I can't even begin to imagine consuming 14K calories in one day. When I was still growing, the dietician only had me on about 2500 per day (back before the days of carb counting, for those of you who don't know what I mean). Maybe some of us just found the concept too amazingly disgusting to discuss. (Just a guess. It is that or not many of us are on line right now.) As for signature files, hey, I figure that is like somebody wearing a T shirt with a saying I don't agree with. I'm in America. They have a right to their opinion. If I don't like it, I have a choice: I can express my own opinion or look the other way. In this forum, I tend to look the other way. (I must say, though, some of you have some truly amazing quotes! Some inspirational, some insightful, some just plain funny!) stacy Ahhh, I see the issue.
