I think my hamster may have developed diabetes. It's apparently fairly common with Campbell's dwarves, but it's still worrying. He drinks all the time and is nowhere near as active as he used to be. He's young, and otherwise in good shape, though. Especially entertaining when I put him in the ball, and he starts chasing the cats around. The looks ( Read more... )

I once had an assistant teacher (not British) who pronounced so its both syllables rhyme with "buoy".

Can't say I've heard it that way before. A lot of times, it's just the fake-British pronounciation.

Do they make mini syringes with little bits of insulin for them? Or do you just have to let it go?

I swear, only you would have a hamster that gets some weird people disease, lol.

Nah, mostly you just have to pick the corn out of their food mix. And not give them fruit. Other than that, there's really nothing else that can be done.

It's like when I got home to find a syringe on my bookshelf. Mom had taken her medicine out of the fridge to warm up and had forgotten about it. (My room has a full-length mirror, so it gets used a lot when I'm not here, apparently.) That was...different.

Corn? I didn't know corn was bad for diabetics, hmm... It's a good thing I'm not diabetic, I love corn!!

Slightly disturbing, indeed. Maybe your mom thought you were on drugs, so she planted a needle in your room to confirm her suspicions, lol.

Corn has a lot of sugar in it apparently. I don't know if human diabetics are limited on that. Nobody in my family's ever had it. Though there's other things that run in the family I'd rather not develop.

Nah, it was definitely her meds. If she was going to plant something, I'd imagine a more standard syringe, not one of those super-safety disposable ones that come complete with little biohazard box. Or a crackpipe.

This is what you get when you have family working in hospitals. On the plus side, I can get real sudafed cheap. Not that bullshit reformulated version. Damn thing doesn't work at all. Yeah, I'm somewhat bitter about that. I like being able to breathe.

A little late in reading this in A2 Lamp. But this was posted a contest for programing. Not sure of all of the reqiurements. It is for $5,000. They (A2) posted about making some Apple II/IIgs that would run with Solaris, I do not think that would win.

Here is the URL if you are interested in looking at it.
