65 th Birthday and a few pints!
Question:
Well- not a single reply, except for best wishes sent privately by Kathy Davis who no longer writes to this group because the "Know-alls" frightened her off. It would appear that,in general, this group is mainly the home of the favoured few judging by the frequency of their postings. I could change my email address to Flying Rodent or something similar to gain recognition , but I won’t bother coming here again. Like Kathy -I’m out. No need to write nasty replies – I shall be unsubscribing as from now.
– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I’ll be 65 on Monday! Fortunately, I have been diabetic type2 on insulin for only 15 months, unlike some of you less fortunate who have had to live with this for many years. Well, I’m going out for a meal and two pints of beer to celebrate – I cannot have more as I had a stroke 3 years ago. As I rarely drink these days what are the guidelines on drinking alcohol with using insulin? What if I do ot have a meal ?All advice gratefully received. — Regards, Brian

Response:
Sorry Brian I missed your birthday, and neglected to send best wishes on that occasion, inadvertantly marked all messages as read and missed a few. Couldnt give you an answer regarding the alcohol as I gave that up some time back before i was dx. Pity you feel like unsubscribing, however if you change your mind, all diabetics, their friends and family are welcome at this group,best wishes and keep healthy regards sandy

Well- not a single reply,
Have to say that I didn’t see braber’s post until today and as I don’t take insulin I haven’t a clue how it reacts with beer! except for best wishes sent privately by Kathy Davis who no longer writes to this group because the "Know-alls" frightened her off.
Ah, thanks Kathy – nice to see that even though you aren’t posting you’re turning people against the group anyway. It would appear that,in general, this group is mainly the home of the favoured few judging by the frequency of their postings.
It’s called being a regular – if we didn’t post then this group wouldn’t exist. A simple concept to grasp really… I could change my email address to Flying Rodent or something similar to gain recognition , but I won’t bother coming here again.
With an attitude like that then I don’t think we’ll miss you much. Like Kathy -I’m out. No need to write nasty replies – I shall be unsubscribing as from now.
Sorry but you can’t tell people not to reply and as you say you aren’t going to read this then we can say what we want! — Emma http://altgallery.shows.it The Chocolate Monster http://chocmonster.rules.it

Emma, this is just to let you know, I have never slaged this site of to anyone,
So what braber implies is wrong then? From what I understood you e-mailed him directly and told him all about the troubles you think you’ve had with the group. From the way he worded it that was a big part in his decision to leave after only making one post. I think you need to let people have their own say,
Anyone who wants to can have their say but when someone comes in here and insults the people who are keeping this group alive (and in Ratty case the person who started the group!) then they can’t expect to get away with it. you seem to be doing alright with your say,
What are you on about? I reply or start threads, that what Usenet is all about. If we didn’t this group would be a very dead place. So let other people in. If anyone is frightening anyone away then look no futher than your self.
In braber’s case how could I have scared someone away after they had actually left the group…? Please give me proof of who I have actually scared off from this group. I may be a bit forthright in my views (believe me I’m tame in this group compared to others I post to) but if people can’t take that then they’d better killfile me – not one forces you to read my posts. I am still on the club and I am not going to leave, So believe me when I have somethink to say then I will say it.
Great – so why didn’t you reply to brabers post on group then? And don’t worry I am not ready to leave yet,
Kathy I really have no interest in what you do or don’t do but do stop telling other people how they can behave. If I have a point to make then I will make it, I thought that was what this club is all about…
It is which is why I replied. After all braber told us he wasn’t going to bother reading the group again so it’s of no concern to him what I say! — Emma http://altgallery.shows.it The Chocolate Monster http://chocmonster.rules.it
Response:
Happy birthday and fuck off.
LOL! Good one Ratty. Have to say that some people demand a hell of a lot from people who they meet via newsgroups. We would all like to be the best poster in the world being happy and replying politely to everything that everyone as said but it’s never going to happen. If we can help then we will – if we can’t then we are very sorry and that’s life… — Emma http://altgallery.shows.it The Chocolate Monster http://chocmonster.rules.it

Well I can only respond with two comments. I’m sorry I didn’t wish you happy birthday. I have been on and off for a short time whilst I changed my ADSL setup, which turned into a minor catastrophe at one point. As regards posting handles, I can only assume this is a cheap dig at me. My posting handle relates to my former occupation in the airline industry. So to summarise both comments, Happy birthday and fuck off.

Perhaps I should have told you all when I was 67 (last week). I might have had a better response from you than from my children. Grandchildren you can rely on, but their parents were obviously very badly brought up. I consider myself fit and healthy despite the pacemaker, the heart failure and constantly having to draw blood. What I do find difficult is that inside me there is an agile, sexy, 19 year old trying desperately to get out, but can’t quite succeed. I suppose another one for the road might be some consolation. By the way, I saved myself some money yesterday. I was going to back Brazil to win 2-1. Just as well I walked straight past the bookies.

Emma, this is just to let you know, I have never slaged this site of to anyone, I have never tried to get anyone to leave this site, I think you need to get your facts right before you start on me again, I think you need to let people have their own say, you seem to be doing alright with your say, So let other people in. If anyone is frightening anyone away then look no futher than your self. I am still on the club and I am not going to leave, So believe me when I have somethink to say then I will say it. Stop getting at everyone who wants to put their point of view, They have a right the same as you, but give other people a chance. And don’t worry I am not ready to leave yet, If I have a point to make then I will make it, I thought that was what this club is all about…….Kathy – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Well- not a single reply, Have to say that I didn’t see braber’s post until today and as I don’t take insulin I haven’t a clue how it reacts with beer! except for best wishes sent privately by Kathy Davis who no longer writes to this group because the "Know-alls" frightened her off.
