Ring Tones

I read yesterday that ring tones are a multi-billion dollar business.  There are children starving in the world, and we spend billions of dollars for ring tones?  What is wrong with this picture?  Just for that I am keeping the Tmobile ring and donating 25 bucks to unicef.

I am a pin cushion.  I inject humolog insulin 3 times a day before meals - in my thighs, which are now black and blue. 

I am a pin cushion.  I inject lantis insulin once a day in the morning- in my thighs which are now black and blue.

I am a pin cushion. I stick my fingertips 4 times a day to test my blood sugar.  My hands were once beautiful, they are now black and blue.

14 years of 9 sticks a day -- in my belly, thighs, and my fingertips which are now black and blue.

(365 days a year X 9 sticks a day) X 14 years with diabetes = 45,990 sticks -- WOW

I am tired and bruised and very bad at math.
