Best Lurker EVER.
A few random things:
First off, the good people of “Overheard in New York” have posted one of my quotes – the one about the girl in Saks who was debating a $710 Prada wallet as a trinket for her friend.
Secondly, there was a pre-rounds interview on Medscape that went up yesterday, and it’s been confirmed that I should re-think things before I send them in. (See references to sundaes) It’s a curse to write exactly how you speak, right down to the silliness. I’ve linked it as a PDF over in the interviews section, for readers who don’t want to have to sign up to check it out.
Thirdly, I’ve become somewhat addicted to wearing my pump in my sock. I have no idea why I didn’t realize this was a possibility sooner. But it was a pain in the arse last night when my pump starting beeping and hollering about a low reservoir and this beeping came ringing out from my sock. I’m standing in my boss’s office, beeping. “Nah, it’s cool. It’s just my pump... Where? ... Oh, it’s in my sock.” Boop beep boop!
And lastly, I have been contacted by one of the Best Lurkers EVER. I opened my email last week to see a subject line of “2 pictures for you from Carolyn."
I clicked on the email to see this:
My main man, Larry Bird. Apparently, Carolyn from Indy was at a Pacer’s game and caught a glimpse of L.B. hanging out in his regular seats. “Larry Bird always sits in these seats at the games and I thought of you when I saw him,” Carolyn wrote in her email. She’s the mother of two boys and she’s been type 1 for the last 15 months. She is also the Best Lurker EVER. So thank you, Carolyn - You absolutely made my week.
Further lastly: What the hell is going on with Blogrolling? For weeks, nothing would reflect as "updated." Now, everything is starred. Is anyone else having trouble with their blogroll?

I emailed you about the OINY comment before I saw your post :)

Re blog roll - I'd bet you can't have more than one dynamic applet thingy on your blog at a time. Notice that the blogroll asterisks disappeared when you started showing diabetesdaily headlines, but reappeared when you put up the 'headlines not working' type message.

or maybe not (I now see that both headlines and blogroll are 'live')

Thank you so much for writing about Overheard in New York, I've always wanted to compile a book of random things I hear on the street. Now I know there's a world of people just as weird as me :) Comforting.

So glad you liked the pictures of L.B. He just cleaned house in Indy and we have a new team! Lots of trades!! Go Pacers! Go Colts!

My blogroll has been doing exactly the same thing... glad to know it's not just me but don't know what it's due to.

Shannon - Emailed you back. And OINY is something I found through Tek over at The 'Betes. I remember laughing my arse off when I first started reading.
Kassie, BB, and Vicki - I have no clue what the deal is with Blogrolling. But it's making me nuts!
Steph - Happy to oblige. ;)
Carolyn - Thank you again. You are the Best Lurker EVER.
