HI Fanchon

There's some good stuff this issue... local politicians' views on the parking meter sell-off thing... neat arts events, starting THIS EVENING! I've added a bunch of things to the Arts etc. section, and to the Democracy and Community section... but now am going to play hookey and go to the Thrift Store! Seven Hills Resale Shop is the best. I need some cheerful spring clothes!

Hug to all,

Ellen

~ DEMOCRACY AND COMMUNITY ~

*

A very smart gal I know just repeated to me a statement like: "People aren't unhappy under a democratic government system, and ALSO they aren't unhappy under a totalitarian type dictatorship system. When they are really unhappy is when it is ambiguous which they have, like what we have now in the US.!" Well yes.
In this section of the Virtual Salon there are bits about local politics, issues, plus things that pertain to community,...Turmoil over the parking meter sell-off; furor in Clifton over renovation to the fountain in front of the CCAC at Woolper & Clifton; "NUNS on the Bus" legislative update from Washinton, ... click on "read more" below and you'll see. . ellen

Many kind letters regarding Judah's diabetes. Thanks so much! ellen

 FROM: Margalit Tal

Dear Ellen,

I’ve just read the news of Judah (David) getting sick, in ER , etc.

Is it an onset of diabetes?

Whatever it is, please let him know I think of him and send my love to him.

You must be freaking out, Ellen. Hugs to you!

Margalit

(Judah has Type I Diabetes, but adjusting brilliantly!)

 FROM: Sergio Contreras

Dear Ellen:

I am so sorry to hear about your son.

I hope that no serious damage occurred due to the excess sugar in the blood!

I am not a mother, but I have an 85 year old one that would volunteer to die for me.

My thoughts are with you.

Sergio.

 FROM: Barbara Venn

Ellen.

So sorry to read about your son. Sure hope the hospital's

assessment is correct because glucose readings of 500

could potentially be very serious. Have been emailing with

an old WHHS classmate, in Michigan, who has been having

similar issues with his children - ages 47 & 57. (The 57 year old was diagnosed with type I diabetes as well!)

Good luck..........B

 FROM MORRIS WILLIAMS

Ellen:

I am also diabetic. How did Judah's sugar go to 500? what did he consume?

Morris

(HE HAS been eating a ton but still losing weight... due to undiagnosed type I diabetes!)

 FROM: Suellyn Schupe

And thank you for the lovely description of spring coming to Lloyd house. Fewer of the early spring flowers are established in my yard. The crocus are fini, and a few little bitty iris are holding forth, waiting the daffodils whose buds are still tightly wrapped.
