If you have missed it ADA's Richard Kahn made comments taht are not being well received. You can see Diabetes Mine or my two cents at Your Diabetes May Vary both have links to the text of his comments.

Read them yourself and if you are so inclined grab a pitch fork and join the angry mob.

How's it going?! The plane in this pic is a T-1A - the USAF's version of the Beech 400. Use it to train the pilots of "heavies" (tankers/cargo). Other one is the U-2. AWESOME. You need to keep in touch with your pilot buddies and keep flying! :)

Hi.

Just wanted to give you a (late) welcome to the parents of kids with type 1 group.

My son, Riley, was diagnosed when he was 3. He is 5 now.

You're a wild and crazy guy! I love your posts on the CWD forum. I'm trying out the TuD site because many of the CWD members are talking about it.

I see you've given in too LOL!

Yes Manny I waived the white flag.

There is only so much time in the day y' know. So I was happily posting at CWD at T1Parents and sometimes ADA but that there is already more than I can keep up with.

So ADA board was just goofy, the way it worked not the people or anything, so I kinda bailed but then they changed the back bone of the thing and I feel like well I should go back but...

I am a web board guy and the structure of this place is way beyond my feeble abilities, is I an taking it slow...
