I use to ride with a grizzlied old biker, he was the founder of a club in Wisconsin. He didn’t talk much and tolerated even less bullshit from people but if a turtle was crossing the street we would stop, turn around if necessary, and help it to the other side :heart::heart: Not one snide remark was ever heard from anyone who might be with us :sunglasses::turtle:

Did you know that moths can’t fly when there’s an earthquake? Why? Even scientists aren’t sure but they believe that moths use a gyroscopic system to fly – their wings and antennae act as a gyroscope, which is like some sort of spinning wheel suspended in three rings. As you can tell, it’s not a very stable system which is why moths aren’t the best of flyers, often fluttering restlessly about. And when there’s an earthquake, it becomes even more unstable, making it difficult or even impossible for them to get a grasp of their surroundings and keep their balance, which is why they remain perfectly still. They’re probably safer that way.
Another fun fact about moths? Some of them don’t have mouths. After coming out of their cocoons and developing into adults, they don’t eat. They simply look for a mate and then lay eggs, which they have about a week to accomplish before dying.

@smitty87 I am diabetic as well! I hate it. I call it the disease of deprivation! I am always getting cut, scratched, dropping stuff on my feet. I have neuropathy in both feet and hands. Yish! I just switched Docs and he is weaning me off of insulin. I was horribly over medicated for 20 yrs. My old doc (he’s not old) before I switched would accuse me of not taking my meds or sabotaging myself with the wrong diet. I was taking my meds and was eating what I thought was right and my BS kept getting higher and each time it would go high he’d add more oral meds (I was on the max dose) and increase my insulin (he had me on 80 u at night and 90 u every morning) and I would gain wt. I was close to 300 # and my BS still went up and he’d yell at me for gaining wt blah blah. This also included having me on 3 blood pressure meds and my blood pressure was always high and he wanted to add more. Well to end this diatribe. I ran out of insurance therefore ran out of meds totally. What an eye opener. I had no insulin, or oral meds and guess what my BS went so down and my blood pressure went down and I lost 100 lbs in 4 mo. The insulin and oral meds caused me to be so over wt for 20 yrs. My new Doc is my brother and sis n laws’ and I love this man! He was raised by Hippies, so I know I am in good hands. I am down to 8 u now and he put me on 2 oral meds and my A1C is right where it should be. And I weigh 160 lbs! He was the first doc to ever tell me I was carb sensitive and has changed my diet and had I known the above would never had happened!
