new developments.

Got diagnosed with diabetes last week. Went in with numbness in hands and feet, Blood sugar was 3 times the "YOU HAVE DIABETES" level and I strongly suspect that the numbness is peripheral neuropathy.

So head injuries,bipolar disorder,no education,ptsd from childhood trauma,brittle bones due to calcium deficiency thanks to moms Munchhausen's bi proxy, (thanks mom! I do not now nor did I ever have a milk allergy) and now my hands don't work all that well and I have to live to a clock and don't dare lose my medical insurance.

This self pitying crap is probably just some blood sugar fluctuation, But right now it seems a mite too deep and dark to handle without at least bitching and whining

Also very disappointed in those who are supposed to be helping me. Made a simple request to multiple people and none delivered. I will complete my commitments but will not make any new ones to any of these people and will from this point expect them to be nothing more than time wasting posers.

Anyway needed to get this out and like always I will complete all my commitments regardless of the failures of others so existing plans will be completed, promises will be kept.


Anyway sorry for the lack of entertainment.

AAAIIGH!!!!

CBS evening news does a profile on us and the storm blows out our network.

so a late post and a few corrections:

1): We/I did not build the skull. The skull was produced by Greenpeace and while we are very proud of our association with it and its production. (We wired a lot of it and you can probably guess where the stuff came from, But concept,design and construction was greenpeace.)

2) Takeback: Takeback without design for re-use/lifespan is at best a mixed blessing. At best it keeps material out of landfill but promotes needless manufacturing and transport. At worst it subsidises shipping material overseas in a gray "recycling" market that involves dubious recovery efforts and disposal methods, promotes planned obsolecence and calls it environmentalism.

I support takeback as a concept and an ideal and I note that the original drafts of the (frankly very bad) rules we have to work with here in california actually made an effort to address design for environment and re-use but last minute negotiations seemed to (in my humble opinion) gut any
actual long term benifit from the states attempt to solve this problem and just allowed manufacturers to sell disposable crap, Make you pay to destroy it needlessly and then tell you that they are doing you a favor and saving the planet.

Needless consumption will never save the planet. Steve Jobs's Reality distortion field causes global warming.
