If your friend is past the age of 12 he is probably more afraid of what the test will show than of any needles. And, as others have correctly stated here, blood sugar returns to "normal" quickly, so the most a high glucose would tell the doctor is to do a A1c test to see if it was suggesting a temporary or long term condition . . . . which is very useful information for anyone who wants to live long and prosper.

Avoiding doctor's appointments to keep from hearing what one doesn't want to hear is frowned upon by the medical profession . . . . but encouraged by underemployed grave diggers.

Some folks think its not okay to murder ANY animal, including a porpoise, including a human. They don't like the thought of taking the lives of others in order to maintain their own. But then other folks get excited by it.

From the bleached wood on the upper part of the back walls, I'm guessing the place has been relatively recently used for cooking meth -- currently a popular use of abandoned buildings in my part of the country.

And, I suspect, in MOST parts of the country since the public is slow to catch on and thinks any drug problem in their community is coming in from far away.

Today it's meth. Fifty plus years ago (depending on local liquor laws) the same place may have been used for cooking moonshine.

Exploring abandoned buildings is an interest I carried over from childhood, but more recently gave up since I don't like to get shot at.

I would say it's nowhere near as good as Mother's Sweet Milk of Rattlesnake Oil, meticulously created by a Real Doctor . . . . who came here all the way from Paris, France, to offer you -- after The Show -- one big bottle for only one, single, silver dollar. But quantities are limited, so, sorry, no more than one case per customer. Hurry and get yours before we sell out!!!!!

On an unrelated note, when did UHH decide to let us post -- at no cost -- cheesy advertising for totally unrelated, questionable products as long as the ads are thinly disguised as "questions"?

I'll bet with a little digging you can find 200 year old letters from painters expressing similar sentiments about those new-fangled gadgets called cameras

Firewire isn't a problem -- Cables and converters are available with firewire on one end and USB on the other

I have five Nikon DSLR's ranging from a D-70 to a D7500. They will all take a decent picture at noon on a sunny day. As the hours pass and the day darkens, the quality of the pictures drops off, one by one, technological advance at a time.
(but when it gets REALLY dark -- and I don't have a tripod -- I put my Nikons down and pick up my Olympus)

From my long ago half-frame 35mm Pen F on I've been an Oly fan. Still have my OM-2's and a few lenses. I own digital Nikons and Sonys and even a Pentax K5, but the camera most often by my side is my EM1-II (or my Mk I). The Olys (along with the Pentax) are what look and feel like "Real Cameras" to an oldtimer like me. It's my understanding that Olympus got into financial trouble because of shady dealings by their corporate heads -- not because of any problems with their cameras. Or with selling them. I believe the #1 selling system in Japan for 2020 was once again M4/3 -- As with cars, the Japanese seem to favor practical size and high quality where we in the U.S. just want BIG.

Excellent program. Does many things well, but for one example, try a panorama with it using multiple photos. Then the same thing with the same pictures on an Adobe product -- or any other pan program I'm familiar with. Affinity beats them all. And they don't even taut that tool!

Notably better pictures than with my D5300; and can use all my lenses from oldest (D's and AF's) to newest (10-20 AF-P).

I have numerous times bought from and sold to them with never the slightest problem. If all businesses were like KEH it would be a better world.

I "want" most all cameras. I take the final step of buying one when the spirit and price move me. I never claimed to be professional. Or even at all rational.

Fault? Who said anything about fault?

B&H had the camera yesterday at $799. Great price. I intended to buy it an hour later in the day. But then The Olympus Store listed it at $899 (3 day sale) and when you went back to the B&H ad it said "no longer available". Not "sold out", just not available. I guess the Olympus Corp did not like being undersold. I don't like the $100 extra for no reason. I won't be buying from either source

Glad this came up today. I had been thinking it was me and not 4.3 that caused me to no longer be able to use the program. Folks might want to wait until the programmers get their programs together before trying it out.
