I asked everyone was it type 1 or 2 but no one I asked could tell me. Elizabeth, as you know has had type 1 since she was 10. It has been difficult for her with the discipline part. I wish she was as careful with what she ate and with taking her blood sugar as you are. I have been praying for you and hope the best. I am sure you will do excellently!! Take care, Cindy Hi,

Are they thinking that it is type 1? Are you controlling it with diet/exercize/oral meds/shots/all or some of above? Take care! We want you around a while longer.

I'm gonna try to put together another Guy's Night. If I'm lucky I can practice Starcraft a bit more before I run into you guys. =P Take Care. Hey bro, Glad you’re alright.

The nice thing is that insurance takes care of most of the cost, so I didn't have a problem going to the doctor, I just didn't realize how bad it was until the day I went in, so I was closer to being in real trouble than I would have liked. Thankfully, God is VERY good and kept me safe through all of it :-) Yeah, I was certainly not in good shape.

Glad you're ok. Sounds like what Liz went through when she found out about her diabetes. Good thing you went to the doctor, rather than try to tough it out. Wow! Glad you’re ok.

Nearly 60% in one year!</blockquote> I'm not sure I agree with you. First of all, according to the data released by England, their crime rate has decreased by 44% since their high in 1995 (<a href="http://www.crimestatistics.org.uk/output/Page54.asp" rel="nofollow">ALL CRIME - British Crime Survey data</a>). Also, according to a number of articles I found, the United Nations issued a report in 2002 that said that England had a higher crime rate than the United States (<a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2002/12/01/ncrime01.xml&sSheet=/news/2002/12/01/ixhome.html" rel="nofollow">England has worst crime rate in world</a>). Lastly, the crime rate in the United States has been dropping considerably since 1993 (<a href="http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/glance.htm" rel="nofollow">Key Crime & Justice Facts at a Glance</a>). Adding that all up, I would make the following conclusions: 1) Both England and America's crime rates are dropping. 2) Both are not as good as it could be, lots of work to be done still. 3) Neither is the clear "winner" in this area. Both appear to be in generally the same area in terms of crime.

He said "You kill one man, you go to jail. You kill 10 men, they send you to Texas and shoot you. You kill 50 men and they put you in a round room with padded walls and give you a little round window to stare through. You kill a million people and ... we just can't handle it. We almost just say ... 'Well Done!' You must have a very busy day. 'Death, death, death, lunch, death, death, afternoon tea, death, death, death, death, quick shower." It time to uunderstand, "Except resonsiblilties for your actions!" If America adopted the UK's strictness on crime, it would drop like theirs did. Nearly 60% in one year!
