I enjoyed my college years in Albany. Wish we had a team when I was there.

Wow!!! Glad you are getting that under control!! I dropped from 6.4 to a 6.1 with diet and now with metformin down to 5.4.

I'm good. Consider apology accepted and I respect option 3. God knows I've said plenty of stupid things in my life. Eaten a lot of crown over the years... tastes like chicken by the way.

And what exactly about his name makes you say that? Maybe he wouldn't be a douche is he had a generic, non ethnic (Christian) name like John Smith? Tread carefully.

So sorry.

a1C is measured on a 1 - 10 scale. Normal is 5.7 and below. Prediabetic is 5-7 - 6.4. Diabetic is 6.5 and up. 137 sounds like a regular blood glucose test. A 37 would be too low to be honest. I suggest you spend some more time talking to your endocrinologist and maybe taking a diabetes class if needed. Med insurance will set you up with that. I am a type2 diabetic on meds.

There is no doubt that some parents put a lot pf pressure on their kids. And there also no doubt that some kids don't put enough pressure on themselves. There is always a continuum.

As a high school AP I cannot condone supporting the notion that not graduating HS is ok and that your grades do not matter. While there are many people who succeed without a diploma or college degree the odds are not in your favor at all. In fact you stand to lose a tremendous amount of money if you do not graduate HS. Similarly the higher your degree the more money you are likely to earn. So... there is a payoff to doing better. Is it absolute, no. Do you need to get a 3.5. No. But the more competitive the field or graduate school it helps. Does it matter after your first job or two and after you have established a professional track record - unlikely; but how hard you work and how well you do does matter.

Thanks for the offer... I'll let you know.

I would but they didn't make them home after the game... I kinda feel stupid about the whole thing! I tend to be pretty impulsive that way.

You described what I felt exactly .... I really should have tried them before a pick up session or something when I would have been more willing to work it in and get used to it.

I'll be honest - I didn't give them much of a chance at all... never even made it onto the ice. I fit them like the instructions said. Sat in the house with them for a while and then on game day went to the rink. When I put them on my feet it was just too different and I wasn't willing to risk feeling uncomfortable. This is one of those times like when you break up with a girl and you say" "its me and not you."

Wasn't using the shim. What's the point of just the shim? The whole concept is to fill the negative space. I just don't like it. Call it a matter of personal preference.

sorry Chase... sucks...

Plenty of guys 1/2 and deeper.... that Penguins sharpening chart that circulated had a bunch.

Tried them yesterday. No go for me. I am very much a creature of habit and I just didn't like the pressure on the top of my feet. Couldn't adjust.

Good luck.

Just put in my inserts and I'll skate with them for the first time tomorrow. Seems like a lot of pressure.......

After waiting for 45 minutes we finally heard from her and she let us skate in a scrimmage that night but at 10:15 and not 9:45. Then reschedule the game for the next week.

Last week we had a game on Thursday at 10:30. We get there and they are working on the ice because the junior team that practiced before is destroyed it. At 11pm they canceled the game and we go home pissed. The league manager emails me and the other captain and says" "do you want to play Sunday at 9:45." We say yes and make plans to play. There are lots of emails between us but the league manager never responds to anything. We get to the rink that Sunday night and the game is not on the schedule! Both teams are pissed but the manager takes about 35 minutes to respond. They let us on the ice to scrimmage and she says sorry.... and then I get admonished the next day for yelling at the staff - which I did not do!! Her communication isn't bad, it is non existent!!! So pissed. We make up the game tomorrow. I hope.

@MikeBoyarchuk Went to order a set and the web site shows only Bauer SR10+. I have size 8 skates. Please advise. Question answered via email. Thanks. Great customer service on a Sunday evening.

After 6 months of injury and illness on the ice three times last week, 2 hours for Winterfest and a game Sunday night taking every other shift on D against a good team. I'M BACK BABY!!!!!

Love my dog like a family member (maybe more!) so I totally get it....

And today my blood sugar is back to my version of normal!!!!!! Time to take my life back!!!!!

I was doing research in the diuretic and it turns out it can increase blood glucose so now at least I think I know what's going on. I'm gonna cut back on this stuff.
