good morning all...

had a little trouble getting on the board last night...so like the trooper i am, i gave it up quickly & easily. :-D

so...the first 3 cycles on this dose were fat 1.25...then i felt like the next 2 were just 1.25..and now we're back to fat 1.25. my vision just isnt as reliable as i'd like...but even i could tell those 2 skinny ones weren't quite up to par.

whether due to the time change, or just the increased scooter activity he's been engaging in the last few days...I got to wake HIM up this morning. :-D my purring doesn't measure up to his deep rumble...but i do a passable cuddle.

hope everyone had a healthy restful night...we're a little behind on checking in on our LL buddies.

celi & binks

Re: 11/7 Binks amps 171

Binks' SS is looking very pretty!

I'd try to be as consistent as possible with the dose - even though it probably takes squinting. Even one drop can make a difference.
 
Re: 11/7 Binks amps 171

oh, i hear you, sienne. i went last night and picked up a stronger magnification pair of reading glasses. i don't think the little poop should suffer from having chosen an aging bean. :-D
 
Re: 11/7 Binks amps 171

Hey BINKSTER! You look so much better than me this morning! Hey dude - what is this sleeping past the bean alarm. I heeheehee was all over my bean an hour early. WOOT!: it was such fun... no rest for her :twisted: See you later maybe... ~~ Mannie

Hey Celi - hear ya on the dose thing. micro dosing = micro caliber syringes, don't ya think? what i would give for that. :lol:

have a good one today - hope you espresso machine was up and running for you. I had to go the the local shop....
 
Re: 11/7 Binks amps 171

Binks has had some really good numbers lately. Very nice.

I was showing my niece last night the magnifying glass (4x) I use to get the dosing just right. She was amazed at how hard it was to read the syringe accurately..Even w/the mag. glass..She's a youngster too (27).

Have a great day Celi......Hoping for some nice safe greens for Binks.
 
Re: 11/7 Binks amps 171

Count me in, for the micro dosing syringe. We're trying to do a f1.25, also. I get as close as I can, using the lighted magnifier, and just try to be consistent.

Hi Celi. That's a very nice am number for Binks this morning. :-D
Hope you have a wonderful Sunday :smile:
 
Re: 11/7 Binks amps 171

I love looking as SSs and seeing how up top it's all pink & yellow, then at the bottom, it's all blue & green. :mrgreen:

LOL @ trying to dose accurately, if anyone walked in on me during my syringe time, they'd swear I was in the middle of a mad-science experiment.
 
Re: 11/7 Binks amps 171

Celi, I hear you on the dose measuring! I use reading glasses too, but I finally broke down and bought a lighted magnifier and I use both....WOW, what a difference that makes! I highly recommend the lighted magnifier, especially if you are at the age (as I am) that you need reading glasses! (Or longer arms! :mrgreen: )

Nice numbers for Binksy, glad he's letting you get some sleep! Have a great day!
 
Re: 11/7 Binks amps 171

Good morning, Celi. That a nice amps for Binks. After struggling with the doses between the lines, I finally got it. Get the insulin to the next line up from where you want to be and then slowly push out drops one at a time until you get to where you want it to be. Count the drops so you can then do it consistently. For example, when I was shooting 3.75, I would go to the 4 line and squeeze out 2 drops. Have a great Sunday!
 
Re: 11/7 Binks amps 171

After I read Ele's squirt-out-drops technique, that is what I have been doing too and I feel pretty secure in being able to give consistent dosing that way.

I had trouble with the board last night too.

what, no music? you must have a busy Sunday lined up. Hope it's a great one.
 
Re: 11/7 Binks amps 171 +2 190 +4 195+6 196 +8.5 198

woo-hoo! we're back on. had to leave the boy from +6 to +8.5...gave him mc...he seems to have surfed the high blue waves...

what great info...thanks for that!
since i liberally mangle lyrics and sing no matter what i'm doing...my new dosing song will be:

" 1 little, 2 little, 3 little droplets.
4 little, 5 little, 6 little droplets.
7 little, 8 little, 9 little droplets.
now we know we got a good dose!"

we'll give it a try this evening!
 
Re: 11/7 Binks amps 171 +2 190 +4 195+6 196 +8.5 198

That microdosing is reeediiiccccuullllouss...I always look at the syringe five times and think "is that what it looked like last time?" I'm gonna try Ele's method for sure.

Missed your condo today but Gracie said she had a blast at the party and Binks was telling her all about your attempt at purring....now, I don't know if it's true but Gigi said Binks just shook his head.

Here's some help for you Celi.

Re: 11/7 Binks pmps 111 +1 93 +2 72

sweet! now we'll see how hard he wants to work me for a reduction...

luv the pic marjorie!
 
Re: 11/7 Binks pmps 111 +1 93 +2 72 +3 76

we're watching the movie KickA$$, and binks is acting it out... :mrgreen:
 
Re: 11/7 Binks pmps 111 +1 93 +2 72 +3 76

Beautiful numbers here. Oh how I wish. I know how you feel about the dosing. That was the joy about using the Caninsulin. It wa s easy to measure 0.1 of a unit. No magnifying glass required. Now I sometimes think I need trifocals to see what I want to see. The joys of getting old.
 
Re: 11/7 Binks pmps 111 +1 93 +2 72 +3 76 +4 98

:shock: barb...i totally agree! when the first signs of aging appeared...i tried denial, moved onto feeling anger & betrayal...NOW i'm ready for the bargaining phase!

he's rockin'. (ok, he's snoozin...but his numbers are rockin...)

was a long day...and i have NO idea what's going on with any of the other LL teams..at least being on late at night gives me a chance to catch up on the news.

and i know i mentioned this once before...but this condo about dosing accessories has me wondering how long it will be before we all shift gears and start posting on the Preservision Forum. :lol:
 
Re: 11/7 Binks pmps 111 +1 93 +2 72 +3 76 +4 98

WOOT! At least somebody has good numbers tonight! Looking good Binkster!
 
Re: 11/7 Binks+4 98 +5 69 5.5 48 5.75 67 +6 88 +7 98 +8 97 +

well...i have to say this one is well-earned...
Dorothy Dot B binkskabibble Sknib et al are quite the sideshow here tonight...
the bean menagerie are not as fleet of foot at this point... :-D
 
Re: 11/7 Binks 5.5 48 5.75 67 +6 88 +7 98+8 97+9 64 9.5 83 1

Nice numbers Celi! :-D I would stop feeding at this point and see where Binks ends up at AMPS..you don't want it to be food influenced.

No sleep for the bean, huh? You're gonna need a lot of ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) or some power naps today!
 
Re: 11/7 Binks 5.5 48 5.75 67 +6 88 +7 98+8 97+9 64 9.5 83 1

Nice long string of greens, Binks. :mrgreen:
Hope you get some sleep today, Celi.
What do the little asterics * mean in your ss? That you fed?
 
Re: 11/7 Binks 5.5 48 5.75 67 +6 88 +7 98+8 97+9 64 9.5 83 1

yeah...i fed him some at the +10, but you're right laurie...i feel like Spock here (star trek, not baby doc)...
"i'd prefer to get a clear reading, captain."

and yes, dyana...jill suggested that designation...said it makes it easier for her to glance at an SS and know right away what's been fed.
once i started doing it...i realized i kind of like it, too.

eta: the sheer number of asterisks lately reflects us trying to feed him micro amounts each test a la the mannie/tess method...make him work for his reductions as it seems that he has the newly hired teenager philosophy... instead of banking what he earns, he tends to let it slip thru his little paws.
