Mmff! 🚒🚑🚲🚲🚲⚠️⬇️⬇️⬇️🎭🎭🎭🆘💲💲💲 http://bndfr.com/Yx4qg These photos are my journey with #Diabetes since I was diagnosed in December 2015. These are all the photos connected with living with #diabetes and learning to control it with diet and exercise. I was already registered to ride in the American Diabetes Association's Tour de Cure charity ride, but then my diagnosis meant that I had become a Red Rider. Through friends in the Chicago ADA office, I got the jersey and started…

    I rode my bike 41.1 miles at Tour de Cure Chicagoland yesterday, one of the premier fundraising events of the American Diabetes Association. I fell over twice, got poop-bombed by a bird, and got my particles accelerated riding through Fermiland's beautiful prairie campus.

    June 15, 2015 - By ginny

    I hurt everywhere, I've got an amazing variety of bruises, and my bike is covered with mud. I rode my heart out and cheered myself hoarse for other diabetic Red Riders like me, and for everybody on Team Red Chicago. It. Was. Awesome. Fundraising for the event ends July 15, so there's still time to help me #fightdiabetes. I've raised $2207.00 so far, hoping to reach my goal of $2900.00 by then.

    Why Is There A Statute Of Limitations On Child Abuse?

    June 11, 2015 - By ginny

    Yet another upstanding Christianist conservative escaped criminal charges for child abuse because the SOL had passed. Huckabee sure knows how to pick his associates. Interesting detail about the minutes of his church's board of deacons – he was kicked out of the diaconate and later excommunicated over the second victim's statements, which they found credible and "heinous." But the law can do nothing. _John Perry, a prolific author who co-wrote two books with former Arkansas governor and presidential candidate Mike Huckabee and co-wrote one with Alabama Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore, was accused of child molestation in two separate lawsuits,…

  • Insurance season is almost over, thank Dog

    Avoid health sharing plans, they're not that great a deal. A friend had one while getting some pretty serious treatment, and he struggled to get the care he needed.

    Elisabeth Yoder and her son Darragh recently experienced a huge gap in their health care "coverage." They stand in  front of the family home, and they belong to a Christian "health sharing" plan that didn't reimburse for a recent ambulance ride.

  • Charm Patch Quilt: On Point

    From Sew Can She - this looks like a great way to use up charm squares and scraps that can be at least 4 1/2-5 inches square. The contrast fabric and on-point arrangement add good visual interest without being too busy.

  • Tea Towel Hems

    Bought some tea towels for gifts, looking for tutorials for adding colorful hanging cuffs after hemming.

    I lean toward Method 1, mitred corners. Will decide once the towels arrive in case the selvage edges are good quality.

  • Sorry About The Mess: Trump Wrecking World Economy

    Post: He’s nuts if he thinks manufacturers will move to the US; they like paying rock bottom non-union wages and they’ll pass the higher costs to American consumers. Lose-lose! What can possibly go wrong?

    Since he lives in his own bubble universe, I’m wondering how long his big donors, the few relatively sane conservatives in Congress, and his “IKEA cabinet” will hold out until the murmurs behind the scenes become screaming fights in the Oval Office.

    Spine of steel? Nope. Skull of rock.

    Maury Povich lie detector meme: It says here… Trump is as dumb as a box of rocks.

    Global economy rocked again as rates on imports to the US from dozens of trading partners rose further, with China hit by 104% tariffs

  • Now Listening: Joni Mitchell | Black Crow

    Joni Mitchell album cover Black Crow. A woman is superimposed over an empty road that leads into her silhouette.

    Text:

     

    ”Black Crow - There's a crow flying Black and ragged Tree to tree He's black as the highway that's leading me Now he's diving down To pick up on something shiny I feel like that black crow Flying In a blue sky I took the ferry to the highway Then I drove to a pontoon plane I took a plane to a taxi And a taxi to a train I've been traveling so long How'm I ever gonna know my home When I see it again I'm like a black crow flying In a blue blue sky In search of love and music My whole life has been Illumination Corruption And diving diving diving diving Diving down to pick up on every shiny thing Just like that black crow flying In a blue sky I looked at the morning After being up all night I looked at my haggard face in the bathroom light I looked out the window And I I saw that ragged soul take flight I saw a back crow flying In a blue sky Oh I'm like a black crow flying In a blue sky”
