You are right, I am wrong and don't know why I put in 200 as the number. The number is 100 and not 200. Anything between 80 and 120 is concidered normal for most adults. Below 80 and you risk insulin shock, but the rest is correct. Normally you will not go into a diabetic coma until you reach the high 100's like 400 - 500 an up. However, if your elevations are above 120 as a normal level, you should seek guidance. Usually diet will help.

Hi, One the blood sugar issue. I remember when I was in lab school that normal blood sugar levels were around 80-110 or 120. My grandmothers "normal " blood sugar for her was 300. The doctor tried to bring her down and she got sick. She got sick when it went higher. From what I understand that if a person has been diabetic for a while their "normals" are different than a person who has never had sugar problems before. To change the subject a little. I went food shopping the other day and I noticied some new bread. It said "sugar free". Think about it. The bread may not have any sugar in it but the starch-carbohydrates will turn straight to sugar. What a joke. Have a good night.

Hi, We had our first boxer when I was about 14 years old. My father loved them. The rest is history for me. My brothers have other types of dogs. Most dogs are great pets as long as they are bred correctly and trained. Suddenly, we have two pit bulls running loose in the neighborhood together. Perhaps they belong to the new people on the next block, but the neighbors are not happy. Of course, all we ever hear about are the horror stories with those dogs. I don't trust them either and certainly wouldn't have them around a baby or young child. Some people think they are great animal lovers, but haven't got a clue. Otherwise, they would train and protect their animals. An animal running loose off their property is not protected. Sad! Pat

Hi, Had a chow when I was young. It was the nastiest dog that I ever owned. Only dog that we ever had that ended up as an outside dog. We are dog lovers, but that was our last chow. I do realize that sometimes these things have to do with the breeding, etc. We love our boxer and the ones that have passed on. They fit right in with allergies and all. We laugh that they choose us and not the other way around. We still laugh about how some of them have chosen us. My second favorite would be springer spaniel. As I have gotten older the shedding keeps me away from them. Pat

Doris, Condor preservation was a big thing when my son was in second grade. He was a condor in a play about it. I remember reading articles about it back then. So glad that they are breeding and restoring them to areas. Did anyone hear the report about the huge bird the people thought was a plane in Alaska? Scary thought. Just listening to the report about the sex ed programs in the schools in NJ. Pat

Pat and all, Boxers are really nice dogs. I don't see many of them up here anymore. One used to see a lot of them in the 1950's. Yes, Chows definately aren't for everyone. My vet hates oriental dogs, you can almost see him do bricks when I walk into his office w/Charlie Chan. My son in CO, and his fiancee, have Golden Retrievers. He's crazy for them. They're nice dogs, his are really sweet, but I said to him once, "Gary, all they do is run around and catch things, swim after things in the water, and bark." He likes them anyway. He has a golden one and a red one. My uncle Russell, when he was alive and living in Long Valley (yrs ago) always had Springers. They were lovely pets as I remember. The people who live next door to me, (I sold my mom's house to them in Jan) have a new baby and two dogs. One of the dogs is a pit bull and another a mutt which I wouldn't trust as far as I could throw it. They run loose and come into my yard far too often for my comfort. I don't th! ink I'd have a pit bull around a baby if I were them. The guy doesn't control them all that well either. It's a riot here where I live since the development came in 1998. There are 38 very huge houses and it seems like 100's of dogs, most of which, are Yellow Labs. One starts barking and then they all join in. A circus sometimes. Charlie Chan just sits on the porch and watches and listens to them. Typical inscrutible Chow. They don't bark much, just as Lee says, "tear you a new one" if you get in their territory. You can't take the guard dog out of them. Mamie

Thought you might like this. I did. Dot The following was said to have been written by a dentist in Australia: "You probably missed it in the rush of news last week, but there was actually a report that someone in Pakistan had published in a newspaper an offer of a reward to anyone who killed an American, any American. So I just thought I would write to let them know what an American is, so they would know when they found one. An American is English, or French, or Italian, Irish, German, Spanish, Polish, Russian or Greek. An American may also be Canadian, Mexican, African, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Australian, Iranian, Asian, or Arab, or Pakistani, or Afghan. An American may also be a Cherokee, Osage, Blackfoot, Navaho, Apache, or one of the many other tribes known as native Americans. An American is Christian, or he could be Jewish, or Buddhist, or Muslim. In fact, there are more Muslims in America than in Afghanistan. The only difference is that in America they are free to worship as each of them chooses. An American is also free to believe in no religion. For that he will answer only to God, not to the government, or to armed thugs claiming to speak for the government and for God. An American is from the most prosperous land in the history of the world. The root of that prosperity can be found in the Declaration of Independence, which recognizes the God given right of each man and woman to the pursuit of happiness. An American is generous. Americans have helped out just about every other nation in the world in their time of need. When Afghanistan was overrun by the Soviet army 20 years ago, Americans came with arms and supplies to enable the people to win back their country. As of the morning of September 11, Americans had given more than any other nation to the poor in Afghanistan. Americans welcome the best, the best products, the best books, the best music, the best food, the best athletes. But they also welcome the least. The national symbol of America, The Statue of Liberty, welcomes your tired and your poor, the wretched refuse of your teeming shores, the homeless, tempest tossed. These in fact are the people who built America. Some of them were working in the Twin Towers the morning of September 11, earning a better life for their families. I've been told that the World Trade Center victims were from at least 30 other countries, cultures, and first languages, including those that aided and abetted the terrorists. So you can try to kill an American if you must. Hitler did. So did General Tojo, and Stalin, and Mao Tse-Tung, and every bloodthirsty tyrant in the history of the world. But, in doing so you would just be killing yourself. Because Americans are not a particular people from a particular place. They are the embodiment of the human spirit of freedom. Everyone who holds to that spirit, everywhere, is an American. Pass this around the world. ooo---This Email Scanned for Virus---ooo by ooo--- Norton Anti-Virus---ooo

200 seems to be the magic number for most adults. 180 to 220 is in a range that's good. You must have some sugar in the blood or you will go into insulin shock. Too much sugar and you go into a diabetic coma. Too much would be 400 - 500 - 600 etc. Above that and you are in "serious" trouble. Too little would be 30 - 40 - 50. Your blood sugar does not remain the same at all times. After you eat, depending on what you eat, your blood sugar will rise. If you fast for a long period of time, your blood sugar will drop. Healthy people will have their pancreas kick in and drop the sugar level, or they will take body fat, convert it to carbohydrates and elevate their blood sugar.

I see I've missed a birthday? A belated Happy Birthday to Mamie. Yesterday was wonderful. Went to Shawnee on the Delaware here in Pa, every year they have their annual HotAir Balloon Festival. I just enjoy it so much. Took lots of pictures wish I could put them on our list.... Weather couldn't be better. Wish I had the guts to get in one. They offer rides but I have a terrible fear of height. Anything over the 2nd floor panics me. The $75 bucks they charge panics me too LOLOL. My grandaughter even got onstage and sang karaoke. Going to NewYork City on Friday. First time there since 9/11. We're going to Ground Zero which in a way I'm not looking forward to. I just feel that I will be really sad there. Also touring the USS Intrepid and a few other sights. I love NYC, one of my first jobs was working on Madison Ave for the airlines. I commuted back and forth from Newark every day. Didn't really mind it, I think it was only a 35-40 min ride. With all this stuff on TV about these a_holes saying there will be another attack is making me very nervous. Have a Happy Monday ALL ellen

I came within a hair of not calling our daughter on her birthday for the same reason; hers was on a Sunday, and we were in church all morning, and then I had to get back out in midafternoon for choir practice. I remembered just after we'd walked the dog and just before I had to leave for choir (and I wouldn't have been home again until she'd already left for work). As it was, she wasn't home, and I had to leave a message on her machine.

Lee, I loved your story about the "junkyard dog." Chows are really scary looking animals. My Charlie Chan is a pussycat really, but he looks like a mean animal. He's usually good-natured, till you try to groom him, clean his eyes, or otherwise get into his personal space. Then, it's muzzle time. I haven't seen a red Dobe in years. They are really beautiful. When I was a kid I had a miniature pinscher which was the same color as a red Dobe, but they called it "chocolate." Nasty little dog, bit everybody. Chows can really "tear someone a new one"....in fact I can think of a couple of perfect choices for that procedure, but I wouldn't want to dirty the dogs mouth, LOL!!!!! (.....I have a couple of yucky people in my life.) When my three sons were little my eldest boy became frightened of dogs so we went out and bought two Great Danes. Cured his problem real fast. Gretl was a fawn and Ilse was a black one. I loved them dearly, but they didn't live long and died of th! e bloat. I can never have another one...too many memories I don't want to re-kindle. I just love dogs, like em better than most people I know. Mamie

This one is involved in the program for restoring the California condor to the wild. This is the largest bird in North America, and it doggoned near died out. This raptor center, the Los Angeles Zoo, and possibly one or two others were involved in capturing the few that were left and breeding the birds in captivity.
