I've got a toddler and a dog who love their snacks. Moses knows exactly where his treat drawer is and has been standing in front of it every single time he wants a treat which is a lot. If I don't give him a treat, he will progress to "herd" me into submission aka he will follow me all around our tiny house and and get in my way until I go in the general direction of his treat drawer. The girl, every 20 minutes without fail announces in one way, shape or form that she wants a snack. Every. 20 minutes. So between the dog and the girl, they are driving me bonkers with the word "treat." The girl will progress to herd me until I go to her treat drawer and progress to list everything that is available for her to eat. If I dare say something that isn't a snack she will proudly, without concern, let me know that she does not consider that a snack. "Oh really?" Frankly, I am beginning to hate the word "treat." I've become a mom cow that's being herded by the "treat" needs of her children!
As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen. If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public. Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me. Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....
