I love watermellons but a couple of months ago diagnosed with diabetes, so on my list of stuff that I can't eat watermellon is second behind pineapple, ahead of grapes. I love all three. I think they say that I can eat an orange a day, although I was eating four with breakfast, a couple at lunch, a couple for dessart. Moderation they say. A cup of strawberries, cherries, blue, black, or rasberries a day now. Aint like the old days a couple of months ago when I ate a whole watermellon by myself over a couple of days starting with dessart on Easter Sunday. No more Gatorade. Moderation, moderation, moderation they say. Well, at least my blood sugar went from 400 - 500 down to 77 - 130, with 70 - 110 beng correct. And now I can see again too. For a few weeks everything was blurry from one inch away to a football field away. A person standing three feet away was blurry and it all came on over a couple of weeks. Now I'm typing this at two feet away, clear as day, no cheater reading glasses even. Diabetes causes the eyes to swell, and thats when vision gets whacked bigtime too. All is much, much better, and I'm not drinking 5 or 10 gallons of water a day either. Another thing, when I stubb my toe it hurts great and am I ever glad of that!!! They say diabetes causes blood flow problems in the extremeties, starting with the toes. When they start going numb, and I have no plans of that, then bad bad bad things follow, sometimes with the doctor earning his nickname of "sawbones". I want no part of that.
I love watermellon, but right now its just one of the things that don't love me back. Maybe one day again, with exercise and in moderation...

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
