 SD> It doesn't matter what I eat now, I have problems.  I'm also taking a
 SD> high dose of niacin, which can cause heartburn and severe nausea in
 SD> the doses I take (although, taking a single 81mg asprin 30 minutes
 SD> before I pop the niacin helps a lot).  The gemfibrozil I take for
 SD> anti-lipids (which works with the niacin) can cause heartburn, nausea
 SD> and other fun side effects.

 SD> With the nightshift, it throws me off.  I have to resist eating until
 SD> I get home and take medication that requires a 30-minute processing
 SD> period before I eat (and then I have to remember to take the
 SD> medications I need to take with food).  Occasionally, I'll be so
 SD> hungry when I get home is that I'll eat anyway and take all of my
 SD> pills.  But most of the time, I actually /don't/ eat before bed, which
 SD> I know is really bad for a diabetic because well, I'm just not
 SD> hungry.
 SD> When I wake up though, I'm starving.  My blood sugar is nice and low
 SD> (but not too low) at that time, so I eat a bowl of cereal...and that
 SD> will keep me going until about 7 PM, which I take my second dose of
 SD> medication...then I eat my "lunch".
 SD> I will only eat "heavier" foods, like spaghetti, at lunch.  I can't
 SD> eat anything heavy for "dinner" or I'll get sick.
 
 SD> I'll sleep a wink or two at work, but it's rare since I have to sleep
 SD> in a very uncomfortable chair.  I prefer to completely lay down to
 SD> sleep as my flux problem doesn't get as aggrivated for some reason.

That is one blessing, I suppose.
 
 SD> Most of the time, my stomach is irritated by my niacin.  If I eat
 SD> anything, the expected will happen, but I usually feel better after it
 SD> does.  But it's rare, thankfully.

With all those pills you have to take, and when you have to take them
with respect to meals, plus the hours you have to work, I can see life
would be difficult for you.  I hope it is all leading somewhere better.
Improving working hours would be a step in the right direction.  The
expense of all the medication would be quite a drain on your finances.
My own medication is limited to vitamin supplements, glucosamine for my
arthritis, and a bottle of red wine per night for my arteries.

 SD> On a more pleasant note, Friday is my fourth wedding anniversary.
 SD> Yes, we delibrately picked 29 February (2004) as our wedding date.  So
 SD> I think we're going to go to the dim sum place we keep talking about,
 SD> unless there is a command decision made. :)

Surely this year would have been your _first_ wedding anniversary, and
so a cause for great celebration!

I still don't know why America became isolated from the world on that
date, but no FIDO came out from the 29th until today.  With 201 msgs
down-loaded, I have been kept busy today.   It is good to have you all
back!

      Title: Rattle Snake Fry
 Categories: Game, Snake, Chilies
      Yield: 2 Servings
 
      1    Rattle snake
      1 c  Flour
    1/4 c  Corn meal
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Chili powder
      1 ds Garlic
      1 ds Onion powder
 
  Remove the head...careful here...rattlers are just as poisonous dead
  as alive if you prick your finger on one of those fangs... Stick the
  snake in the freezer, for 1/2 hour to an hour. The snake skins much
  easier half frozen.
  
  Once you've skinned the snake, cut it into 1" pieces. Dip it in a
  mixture of 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup corn meal, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp
  chili powder, a dash of garlic and onion powder... Fry as for chicken.
