Ah, GM, sorry to hear. Best to you, Cooper, and the family. Echo to what everyone else said about people living full and healthy lives with T1D, and add Halle Berry, Bobby Clarke, Victor Garber, Jackie Robinson, Mary Tyler Moore, and Sonia Sotomayor to that list. Please also explain to him that this diagnosis is not an excuse to become a dooshnozz like Cutler.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Good luck, GM. You deserve better luck in 2016 and beyond.

 

[Annyong]

Tough news GM. I'm going through something similar, albeit not as severe.

My 3 year old is allergic to pecans. This blows. The little #### loves peanut butter and now we can't give him any in case of any cross contamination.

 

[General Malaise]

Thanks you guys and gals. It means a lot to me, it really does. Today was one of the hardest days I've had and that includes loss of loved ones, divorce, kids in a NICU, financial losses so severe I worried about survival. But your words both here, on text and elsewhere were a welcome distraction. I know it sounds cliche, but I really do find so much inspiration and strength from you all.

Especially you, Shuke. The Robin to my Batman. The Pippen to my Jordan. The cooter to my wang. In short......SUCK IT!!!!!

I mentioned before about how my family sucks at group texting.

This AM my mom sends out her daily "I'm still alive" text. Actually she had my great nephew send it:

Mom cell: French toast and bacon at grandmas send it send it love jack

Then there are the obligatory 3 texts from my brothers and sister "sounds yummy, Jack" ##ckers

30 mins later my brother (single, no kids) asks if anybody wants to see Star Wars in 3D on Xmas day. Other brother replies that his family will be hosting a bunch of people at his house so "no". Sister replies saying the exact same thing. I reply "thanks but no thanks". That pretty much covers all family members since heads of households replied.

Son of a ##### then sends out a completely new group text about going to see SW that now includes all of our spouses and kids. JFC.

Beerkid sends me this "GOD DAMIT IM IN A FAMILY GROUP CHAT NOW!

I laugh and tell him "welcome to my hell". And then I tell him "ask to be removed, seriously".

He comes back with "I don't even want to reply. If I do, they win."

This all sounds ####ing horrible.

Thanks you guys and gals. We learned today that Coop has Type 1 Dibeeeeetus and have been in the Children's Hospital with him all day learning how to pee on litmus paper, draw blood, give insulin and count carbs. Should be out of here by Xmas eve, possibly tomorrow. Been a long day but Coop is a tough kid with a great attitude and we'll deal with this the best we can. Neat year, 2015.

Horrible. Sorry, I didn't know he had to actually stay at the hospital.

 

[cosjobs]

OPM, you were right about The Knick. Maybe I wasn't on a happy place the first half season. It's damn good.

 

[shuke]

Back after run and Santa Claus is Coming to Town is on. This is the Rankin and Bass one. They all look stoned. WTH did I like these when I was a kid?

I don't think I've that. Watched Rudolph a week or two ago, though, and Mr. krista was amazed that any kid would like that. I still loved it.

Your husband sucks.

 

[cosjobs]

Our movie got submitted to SXSW before the deadline. It's in God's hands now.

It's like me and shuke are having anon sequitirfest in here.

He's lucky to have such a great father and leader of his family. GL GM and Coop.

Turn off text notifications. Check every hour or two, or daily, whatever level you are comfortable severing. Read the ones of interest, ignore the rest. Break the shackles, man.

Unfortunately that would prevent me from getting texts that are actually important.

Your situation in life is such that answering a text within an hour is unacceptable? What are you, a button pusher at NORAD? Slide things back a few notches. Everyone on the other end of the texts will be ok.

Change your life

 

[cosjobs]

Five or ten years or so ago, none of us were so encumbered. Now even OPM has bought into the voluntary slavery?

/disappointed

 

[cosjobs]

If its actually important that you respond immediately, they can shudder/ call you /shudder.

It's a phone

We used to use then to talk to each other.

 

[Aerial Assault]

Shut it down.

 

[cosjobs]

I guess i can't drink THAT much vodka.

 

[cosjobs]

We really need to discuss leaving me to oversee the weeknight graveyard shift unaccompanied.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

I ran out of likes.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Not that I was going to give you any.

 

[Homer J Simpson]

I ran out of likes.

I had a like.

I gave it to you.

 

[UniAlias]

Man up dude. T1 doesn't stand a chance vs you and the coop. You've done your little attention whore schtick, now take care of your bidness as you are helpless to do otherwise. Nothing is gonna eff with your kids. Back to your station soldier.

I love you,

The Capitan.

Just my opinion but telling someone who is going through an emotionally heavy situation with a loved one to "man up" is pretty ####### disrespectful.

Will be thinking about Coop this holiday. Best of luck with everything, GM.

 

[Chemical X]

its 5am somewhere.

 

[eoMMan]

its 5am somewhere.

AND WHAT STATION IS GIVING IT TO YOU?!?!

 

[eoMMan]

Hang in there, GM. As others have said, it's amazing how fast medicine is advancing and managing this (if it's not cured at some point) will be an easy, mundane task he does each day.

 

[eoMMan]

Anyone else doing a long drive today or tomorrow?

I'm working a few hours today and then making a 9 hour trek to SC. Then an 8 hour drive tomorrow.

I'm taking suggestions on good podcasts, iHeart stations or Sirius XM stations.

 

[Annyong]

I'm finishing up my boy's Lego table today. Might have a couple Busch Lights while doing so.

 

[Limp Ditka]

You'd like to think that a 5:47 AM phone call, from the hospital your 88 year old grandmother is at, would be about something more important than...

'This is the hospital your grandmother, (insert name here) is at. At 3:47 this morning, we found her on the floor. She was trying to go to the bathroom on her own, she didn't have the call light on, and she slipped and fell while getting out of bed. She's not hurt, there's no injury, we just need to let you know.'

Because god knows that couldn't have waited until, oh I don't know, a reasonable time like 8:30.

The nurse stammered through the whole explanation. It probably took her 45 seconds to get from 'this is the hospital' to 'she's not hurt'. That whole time, I'm assuming my grandmother is dead and wishing she's just get to the point.

 

[Limp Ditka]

These tirades feel more fulfilling when my pms are littered with likes. #####es.

You have pms?

Of course you're right. Drunk cos was trying to be inspirational and failed.

 

[El Floppo]

I'm finishing up my boy's Lego table today. Might have a couple Busch Lights while doing so.

I need to know more.

is this a table made out of legos? or just a table for your kid to make the legos?

I've seen your work, so either way I know it's going to be pretty kickass.
