Bouncy day yesterday for Mannie: pinks and reds and one lonely yellow.... I hope for better things today, though the 404 this AM was a disappointment. hmmmmmmmmm, 20% inflation for this stupid meter means that this 404 would probably be a 320, still not too pretty, but more bearable. :roll: Today's mission: buy a new meter. :-D :-D

Zombie-ville here this AM @-) and :lol: :lol: . But we are moving the shoot times to be ready for DST. That 4AM shoot this morning was a bit trying :roll: but Mannie was patient as his bean tried to focus, measure the dose (thanks goodness it wasn't one of those micro-doses), test the boy, dish up breffis. He was his usual furry purry self, and more than excited that breffis came early, from his point of view. dancing_cat we had lots of vocalizations, prances. Napping is now in progress - per the norm on top of the nanner pile. Sometime during the night they has been scattered - :shock: :o I suspect that Mannie had some play time last night, as he didn't reclaim them with his usual routine to remove civvie scent, just moved them back, the kitty scent has to be his. Could it be that the boy remembered how to play? :cool:

Have a great Caturday, everyone!

My friends! What's up today? I am ready for anything! ~~ Mannie

Re: 3/12 Mannie AMPS 404

Hey Mannie, Your mamabean is going to be much happier with your numbers when she gets her new meter! What are we going to do today? I need to chillax before KTSS. Maybe we can go to Gracie's? See you later.
Rusty


Hi Michelle, Yep, the DST preparation is a bummer. I gave a fur shot this morning! That's a neat story about Mannie playing with his nanners and therefore not needing to get the civvie smell off of them! Have a good Saturday and good luck with the new meter. Are you going to get the ReliOn? I have both the Micro and the Confirm. Both use the same strips and both require only a tiny drop of blood. I've tested both on myself, one right after the other, two times, and the readings were pretty close.

Re: 3/12 Mannie AMPS 404, +2 362

362 @ +2 - coming down. YAY! but a ways to go Mannie.... paws crossed kitty - you can do it. please?

and for anyone following the meter saga.... Back to the Maxima: bought this AM thru ADW (good basic meter and affordable), also ordered the FreeStyle Lite thru ADW for a test trial by this bean. So... back up meters: Infinity, one Touch Ultra, Freestlye Lite. that ought to do it, don't you think?

Hi Ella - I went back to the meter I have used before. It is still available despite what US Diagnostics says about discontinuing it, and they are still selling the strips. It a very simple meter, but works well. So... it will be good to have it back, get more in line numbers. hated that 404 this AM when I knew it could have been a 320, in theory... Also got the freestyle lite to try, and for back up. Thought about the ReliOn, but just can't deal with Walmart... they drive me nuts. -- and YES!! on DST! man that was tough this AM, tomorrow will be worse as the old bod will be saying 3:30 when the clock say 4:30 ohmygod_smile

HI Sienne - so agreed! and he seems to have heard you. I sure hope so... I am so pffhhhttttttt with these numbers. so Mannie: GET DOWN!

HI Devon - me too.... darn bounces!

Hi Lisa - I told him the pronto part. :-D

Hi Rusty! I know on the need to chillax! Let's see if we can go to Gracie's - it is so warm and sunny and nice there. We can lounge bu the pool and stuff. See you soon! ~~ Mannie


Off for a short morning hike :-D :-D - condos when I get back - miss you guys!
 
Re: 3/12 Mannie AMPS 404, +2 362

Don't forget, you can get a free freestyle lite plus 10 test strips here: Free Freestyle Lite! Glad to hear you were able to get the Maxima strips still! That one isn't in our collection... 2 Advocates, Relion, Alphatrak, TrueTest2go, Freestyle Lite.... :-D :-D We are meter hoarders! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Glad to see Mannie coming down... hope he keeps it slow!! 4am?!? And here I was grousing about 5:15!! :shock: :shock: I will be very glad when everything is caught up!

What's up today, Mannie? Chillaxin' sounds awesome... see you over at Gracie's?? --Willie
 
Re: 3/12 Mannie AMPS 404, +2 362

Hey Michelle, good for you getting the Maxima meter - what is ADW? It will be interesting to see Mannie's new numbers with this meter. I have one strip left on the ATrak, so this should be interesting with the Relion Micro meter as my back-up. A lot seem to like the Freestyle Lite. Glad to see Mannie coming down, and hope you see some nice numbers today.

Hey Mannie, what's up today with any plan to do something fun. Maggie's ready and waiting to be picked up.
 
Re: 3/12 Mannie AMPS 404, +2 362, +4.5 338

338 @ +4.5, a slow descend. I suppose that is good. I am just glad he is coming down.... :-D

Hi Christie - thanks! I saw that too. Think I may do that too... why not - I love free! And one can never have too many meters, right? :lol: :lol: I think we all tend to be meter hoarders... i know I am... and so agreed on the DST thing. that was tough this AM. Mannie's normal shoot time is 4:30 am - a hold over from when I was working, and being a morning person, i've just kept it.

Hi Ann - ADW is American Diabetes Wholesale. They have good prices. Someone sent me the link - I can't remember who - and I thought I'd give them a try. They say they ship pronto, guess we will find out. I also got the free style lite to try it out, as yes - alot seem to really like it. If I can find a place to get a decent price on the strips it would be nice to have as a back up.

Hey Willie! Yep that is affirmative! I think we will go to Gracie's... i uhhhhh hope that is OK, as she's still sleeping. way to go Gracie... :lol: :cool: see you there for some major chillaxin'! ~~ Mannie

Hey Maggie - listen for the roadster - I am on my way! looks like it will be Gracie's! heeheehee little does she know... See you! ~~ Mannie
 
Re: 3/12 Mannie AMPS 404, +2 362, +4.5 338

He's been complaining all day about wanting to go outside though...ugh....bean keeps knocking on the door or checking on him...Can you swing by and pick me up for fun in the sun too? ~~Attie
 
Re: 3/12 Mannie AMPS 404, +2 362, +4.5 338, +7 399

Hi Beth - oh yeah on the soaring.... aiyee! All so very trying. :roll: 3 cycles with little or nothing but high numbers. I keep reminding myself: patience grasshopper, patience...

Attie - dude! whoa on the fuzz ball in the foster room. man you got chortles and purrs and stuff? maybe he is ok then.... hey - did he ever dry out? my bean says he was soooooo wet. poor guy. I hope he likes his guest quarters... oh, and affirmative on the picking you up. it is so cool at Gracie's! They gots a pool and everything, and her bean made us fresh catnip bean dip with quail poppers and niptecates. Listen for the roadster, I am on my way. :cool: ~~ Mannie
 
Re: 3/12 Mannie AMPS 404, +2 362, +4.5 338, +7 399

Mannie ! Noooooooooo! Wrong way! Come on down the party is on the lido deck! -- Tess
 
Re: 3/12 Mannie AMPS 404, +2 362, +4.5 338, +7 399

Tess - I'm tryin'! I think I may need the rope.... hey - did you now that the sky is blue way up here? ~~ Mannie
 
Re: 3/12 Mannie AMPS 404, +2 362, +4.5 338, +7 399

Mannie, I got the ropes in the car. We'll get all the kitties together to pull you down. And i got a balloon we can send up w/ niptecates! That will help! -- Tess
 
Re: 3/12 Mannie AMPS 404, +2 362, +4.5 338, +7 399

Re: 3/12 Mannie AMPS 404, +2 362, +4.5 338, +7 399

Oh how funny with the four meters - and I thought I was a meter hoarder with my little threesome! :lol:
 
Re: 3/12 Mannie AMPS 404, +2 362, +4.5 338, +7 399

Hi handsome boy. Just wanted to stop by and see how you are doing. Looks like you've been flying high today. I hope you come on down soon. Choco says hi and hopes that you and your mama have enjoyed this beautiful Caturday. :-D
 
Re: 3/12 Mannie AMPS 404, +2 362, +4.5 338, +7 399

:lol: :lol: "your bg reading sung to you by sarah vaughan"
"A one and a two....and a green or a blue!"
you hear that, Manxman??

That would be priceless!!!
 
Re: 3/12 Mannie AMPS 404, +2 362, +4.5 338, +7 399

Mannie Mannie Mannie ohmygod_smile What does Mannie usually do after three not so hot cycles?

Funny about the nanners being scattered and then retrieval. I should get Maverick's out of the freezer and see if he'll give it a second look. I wish he took to it like Mannie. I just love reading the Nanner Chronicles.
 
Re: 3/12 Mannie AMPS 404, +4.5 338, +7 399, +11 462, PMPS 39

462 @ +11 oh crappus and ohmygod_smile , 398 @ PMPS. :YMSIGH: These numbers are killing me....

and HI GUYS! you make me smile... love you all! :-D :-D

Hi Karrie - in theory after 3-4 bad cycles we should get 2, maybe 3 really good ones. If I can just survive these awful ones. One of these days I HOPE he will stop with thinking Kaleidoscope is cool.... :lol: :lol: I know on the nanners - it truly is his thing.

Celi - that is too funny! Love the photo... that would be me... good thing is though that I only use one, just have a a-zillion others. Maybe deep down inside I hope having so many will drive his numbers down. :lol: :lol: :lol: and I can't top laughing over the sarah vaughn thing... very good! I told Mannie and he said: "HUH? Who?" cats!

Hi Ella - me too! I want the JAZZ meter.....

Hi Choco and Choco's bean! Thanks for the visit! Flying high indeed. not one of his better days.... but we have enjoyed our caturday - it's been good!

Hi Ann - well yeah on the meters.... i keep hoping to find the magic one - ya know - the one that will give you the numbers you want to see. :lol: :lol: :cool:

TESS - YOU ARE MY HERO!!! The balloon thing for the niptecates was the best!!! Better send more though - i keep missing the rope too... shesshhhhh.... on my way, I hope.... ~~ Mannie
 
Re: 3/12 Mannie PMPS 398, +2 301

301 @ +2. ok and down we go, with an active cycle. Not too fast there Mannie, OK?

Hi Christie - Mannie's not talking, though I did hear the soup pots rattling, ladles being gathered, frozen chicken thumping on the floor: he does struggle so with that freezer door. I suspect that they are making a few KTSS rounds. He also mumbled something about not waiting up, as he grab the skewers for the smores. :shock: Must be another outdoor cookout. I want their social life....
 
Re: 3/12 Mannie PMPS 398, +2 301

LOL I just meant their numbers!! But Willie too has been gathering up some odd things... and lingering suspiciously by the freezer....

Mannie! Fire up de roadster! When mah bean izn't lookin, I'll grab some more chicken for de KTSS soup, an' sum slider mix! Moonlite grillin on de beach sounds AWESOME! Just round the block til I'z run out... dis iz gonna haz to be a smooth ess-cape!! --Willie
 
Re: 3/12 Mannie PMPS 398, +2 301, +4 234

234 @ +4. HOORAY! We made yellow! :-D

Hi Celi - uh.... I can only imagine!

Hi Barbara - so true... :-D at least we are now yellow. maybe a sign of good things to come.

Hi Christie - oh, and well duh.... :lol: here I was thinking Willie's down so low blue and green and all, so that must mean party hearty.... :lol: :lol:

Ok WIllie - we are good to go! I am so excited that you have more slider mix-awesome dude! And thanks too for the chickens... we didn't have too many, darn bean needs to go to the store... and affirmative on the drive around the block thing... i can do that... with the door open... see you! ~~ Mannie
 
Re: 3/12 Mannie PMPS 398, +2 301, +4 234

Not sayin' nuttin but you should be warned that Mannie had ALOT of niptecates......
 
Re: 3/12 Mannie PMPS 398, +2 301, +4 234

Looks like things may get interesting here later tonight. That is of course if Mr Mannie runs true to form. Hope you have a good night tonight. The niptinis will be waiting here for all the kitties.
 
176 @ +6. SWEET! We made blue. I am toast, and off to NI NI Land. I left a little food out for Mannie, hope the civvies don't, get it, in case he decides to go lower and needs the fuds.

HI Marjorie - looks like those niptecates are working! sweet..... :-D

HI Barb - the kitties are grateful - they love to come and see your girl. It's nice to see him blue - I hope I wake up to the same. :-D
