Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when I was 8 years old. I am nearly 40 now. I am disabled. I have quite a few diabetic complications, including Retinopathy, Nephropathy, Neuropathy and I had my left foot amputated 8 years ago. I just started a home study art course. I have been searching for work to do from home that is not a scam, and has a low start up, because I am on a limited budget. What a long search that has been! lol. I look forward to getting to know you.

I live in Massachusetts. Next weekend I'll be in New Canaan CT on Sunday to take part in the Bike the Miles ride to raise money for Dr. Denise Faustman's research into a cure for diabetes.

Maybe you'd like to drop by and say hi? Details are at the Bike the Miles page.

My God mother was named Doris and it rymed with Joyce so she named me that. No I'm full Southern Baptist but I was born in RI and these folks wanted to be my God parents so my mom and dad said OK! Doris went to heaven about a year ago and Ernie is still here but in his late 70's so I don't think he'll be around much longer but then again my grandmpther is still running strong and she will be 83 this coming Feb. We just don't know what God has before us! My great uncle passed last year and was 93!
Sounds like your mom had the right idea! When I had my 2 girls I thought I had names for them that nobody else would even think of, Amber my oldest was named after the song "with amber waves of grain America, America. God shead his grace on thee" and my youngest was named Brittany because on my grandfather's side we had came from Brittan but you guessed it everybody has that name now!

At 1:52pm on August 28th, 2007, Doris Ann Dickerson said…: Hi Victoria,
I'm really gonna get you now!! You have 2 of my favorite names of all times!!! I'm very proud of Ann and have passed it down to a 3rd generation who says when she has a duaghter she will name it Brooke Anne. If I forgot to say it Ann was my mom's middle name (who has now been in heaven for 2 1/2 years) so me and my girls have found away to keep it in the family. When my oldest got pregnate with my granddaughter I ask her to keep the A alive her name is Amber so she named my granddaughter Amarie. She told me the other day when she hasanother girl she's planning on naming it Joy Ann. My mom's name was Joyce Ann! Should I say my mom was a great woman! She passed away from panceratic cancer and when her Dr found out herdad,me and her granddaughter were all diabetic he said weak pancers just run in your family!
Sounds like you have alot of what's wrong with me! Ok my phone rung and I had to quit typing over an hour ago so my train of thought isnow entirely gone! I can't talk on the phone and type on the computer at the same time! Must be one of those blonde things! HA!
