So every year without fail in January there is a massive rain that causes a flash food which always, always happens on trash day. Do you know what this means? It means all of our garbage cans flash flood themselves down the street. Thinking I would be smart this year I wrote my address on both of my garbage cans. When I got home sure enough the cans had washed away and I had to go searching for my cans. It wasn't hard as everyone got home before me so there were only a few cans lefts. I found my black one near my house but I couldn't find my blue one. After walking up and down the street I figured someone took it. So I walked up a neighbor's driveway determined to find it. I found it at the first house I looked at. There was my cracked blue garbage can in my neighbors driveway. I knew it was mine becsaue mine had a unique crack in the lid. I was about to take it when I noticed that he had wiped my address off f the bin. I could see my sharpie marks where he wiped. He purposely stole my can! I was going to take it but figured that one of the extra bins in the road was just as well. I would have had to lug it down the big hill of his driveway. So I went and took one with no crack in the lid. I really don't care about what can I have but the fact that he took mine and wiped off my address left a bad taste in my mouth. Now overtime I see him I think "Thief."
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....
