Hi! My name’s Gnomey, and I’m a Type II diabetic…

Sometimes, it’s just great to be a Gnome! π

I didn’t think this was remotely funny! I thought it was so uproariously, rib-tickleingly funny I laughed so hard I nearly wet myself! π Dammit @Alison, it’s just not fair, why couldn’t I think of that? π₯

@Tim – Sorry about mixing up Chaucer and Bunyan, I sit corrected! π Mind you, the Slough of Despond was my second choice simply because I couldn’t find a picture of a vicious black dog! Churchill’s analogy has always had a ring of truth to me, I can imagine depression as an evil beast waiting to pounce. […]

ShootUp’s resident Type 2 Terry gives a personal insight into the complication of diabetes we often forget…depression.Β How often has that been said to you?Β Maybe not very often, because people have learned to avoid using this somewhat patronising phrase when people are suffering from depression.Β There, Iβve said it, the big βDβ word; depression. So […]

Absolutely brilliant @Alison, all the walls would have to be painted white though. However, as an alternative I have a very sharp modelling knife, and I know just where the veins are in my wrists, so maybe it would become more bearable… π Only the constant display of twirling tassels could save me. π

A lecherous old gnome sits and cries,
He weeps, and he wails, and he sighs.
He knows it’s a sin
To stick pen needles in
The flesh of a tender bride’s thighs. π -
Hairy Gnome commented on the post, Did someone mention a wedding? 13 years, 10 months ago
@Alison – Joking aside, I find your wedding much more interesting than that other one, you looked lovely, and there are no height restrictions on love. π
@bellebe – I agree, that’s exactly how I imagined […]

What annoys me is that the damned photographers never got a shot of all the lovely ladies flashing their thighs! White stockings, suspenders, and tender flesh; it’s a pervert’s paradise! π

Mind you @lizz, for that horror to occur, you would have to assume the men had sufficiently erm… extensive equipment to succumb to the motion. That could well be a problem if they were erm,,, uninflated… π

You really are stretching a point,
Thinking insulin’s held in a joint
Of pulverised pig
That ain’t very big,
Or sausages simply conjoint. -

Hairy Gnome posted on the forum topic Diabetes in the USA? in the group Shoot Up: 13 years, 10 months ago
I agree with every word of your article @Alison, all I would add is that the NHS shouldn’t need to be driven by profit, it should be driven by the wish to be the best! I would attribute 95% of the problems in the NHS to bad management. The upper echelons of the organisation are overloaded […]

Hairy Gnome posted on the forum topic What do you sacrifice when you have angered the Diabetic Gods? in the group Shoot Up: 13 years, 10 months ago
I’ve decided to build a shrine to Susan and Anthony in my garden, I will make regular offerings of food and drink, and burn the occasional cat or dog when the neighbours aren’t looking. Maybe that will help… π

Following a comment on Liz’s article on porcine insulin, I immediately felt a rush of compassion for our American diabetic brothers and sisters. π₯ It must be so difficult when you have to pay for all your insulin, as well as the means to use it. Perhaps our American correspondents can answer a few questions […]

Hairy Gnome commented on the post, Human insulin, pork insulin and me 13 years, 10 months ago
@lizz – My first reaction was the same as @Alison‘s – Wow! My second reaction was; ‘I’m really glad I don’t have that problem, I don’t think I could get my head around it!’ My third reaction was; ‘Insulin from dead pigs? Eeeww,’ but I’m sure you would have mentioned it if you’d started to grunt, so […]
