BALLISTIC SOLUTION22 Feb 2004, 12:01 well, i had to finally kick my old lady to the curb. there's just something i can't stand about 26 year old spoiled little rich girls acting like 12 year old spoiled little rich girls...& her ma was going to buy my a car too! (damn, i should have waited to get the car 1st!)
it HAS made for some extreme musical creativity, just not in the trance genre. i've been "all about" some chillout lately & i've created some dark-chillout (maybe if it catches on, di.fm will have a channel :P ).
sorry i took the pic of me & the ex in the t[]c gear out of the profile Alle...but, it looks like i might have to buy another girls top soon :wub: B) (i'm a fast worker & she's just drop-dead ungodly beautiful!).
for all concerned...the diabetes is under control with a change of diet & blood testing so far (type 2...THANK GOD!).
i also plan on having a free promo album out by late spring or early summer...free copies to be distributed! hell, i'll even pay the postage B). when i get my website up & running, i'll set up a special email address & the 1st 100 (wishful thinking) people can get their own 5 track promo cd "HIJO KOKKU- lets so bring it on down!".
well, that's about it from my end, & OOBE, i't good to see you got back into music! i told you that you'd regret ditching all of you gear ;) . i about died a week after i got rid of my 1st synth.
cheers all,
mac- aka HIJO KOKKU
ps- breaking up sure gets you back into listening to bauhaus, joy division, & old cure tracks :P :blink:OOBE22 Feb 2004, 16:41 Mac, I hope everything goes well for you...are you still in Korea? You're not the only one having it shitty. My mom is dying of cancer and she got her legs amputated. It's been a very tragic month...2004 started furiously on my life. But yeah, just pray to God and keep your head straight up...good things will come. :) And yeah, once musical, you can't go back...thanks goodness I didn't sell my gear. :Dlkollar7 Mar 2004, 02:08 BALLISTIC SOLUTION wrote:for all concerned...the diabetes is under control with a change of diet & blood testing so far (type 2...THANK GOD!).
Woof! Now I know what the diabetes stuff is about... my son (age 16) got Type 1 & we didn't know it. It started with a virus a couple of weeks ago, then he had his wisdom teeth out, next thing we know BOOOOOOM, his glucose is up to 1800, he has DKA & can barely walk by the time I got him to the hospital. Just got him home yesterday, a week later.
Things are much better now with him, he's steady on his feet & ready to go back to his job at the supermarket. Luckily his boss is married to a guy with diabetes, so she understands the situation & knows what to do if he bonks at work. Things are rapidly getting back to normal, we've just added blood tests & insulin injections to "normal" around here. :wacko: He went out to the big garage & made his guitar wail a bit tonight, proving the blood pokes aren't bothering his fingers.t[]c lover10 Mar 2004, 03:03 Hang on manteknodave24 Mar 2004, 01:13 Ugh ~ diabetes is not fun ~ Odds are I have that to look forward to myself when I get older ... my old man has Type II, and so did my grandfather on my mother's side.
No clue about my dad's side though ~ my father was adopted. Now that was a shocker to me, when the Cencus lady came to our house in 1990, and I heard my dad say that. I was like "Say what?! Come again?!" But I still loved Grandma and Grandpa the same regardless.
When my medical kicks in come May, maybe I should have some bloodwork done, just to see if anything is going on that I should know about. I already have incentive to get into the gym more with my 10-year High School reunion coming up, but perhaps if I start to eat healthier and work out more often, I can minimize my risk.
At least now that I know about my family's medical history (oh yah, mom had breast cancer too) I can start to look forward.
IK > I am glad your son is doing better ~ wow. That is just intense. But forgive me please, what is DKA? I looked it up on WebMD and cannot make head or tails of the mumbo-jumbo on there.
Ballistic > Bugger about the car, but I bet Ma would come have it repo'ed once you kicked her baby out.
Okay ... I feel dumb.
I typed all this up last night and did not hit POST! :unsure:

Type II seems to be more hereditary than Type I, but fortunately (as you know) you can control it. Fat around the waist seems to be more of a predictor than if it were located anywhere else (hips, thighs, etc). The thing is, you don't have to wait to get older to get it... they're starting to see it in older kids these days. :wacko: Definitely get it checked out as soon as you can.But forgive me please, what is DKA? I looked it up on WebMD and cannot make head or tails of the mumbo-jumbo on there.
DKA = Diabetic Keto-Acidosis. In a nutshell, that's what happens when you stop making insulin and don't get it treated. Glucose builds up in your blood, but without insulin it can't get into your cells for energy, so your body starts trying to burn fat for energy. This in turn produces ketones, which is a sort of waste product, that tries to get flushed out in your urine. So you basically drink a lot, pee a lot, and still get dehydrated. Over a period of a couple of days or weeks, you start running out of energy, can't walk or talk straight, and shortly after you can end up comatose. Not a fun thing to have happen.
Hope that helps. Like I said, things have gotten back to normal with him, it's just that "normal" now includes glucose monitoring & insulin injections.
