Crochetluvr
Hi...I'm Sandy and as you can probably tell from my handle, I love to crochet. I am a nearly 71 year old lady in years, but much younger in spirit.

No More Revolving Door
Hi. This is the...what?....the 5th time I have been here. The first time I was successful... every time after that, I wasn't. So here I am for the absolutely LAST TIME! I promise....LOL!

He told me to stay on the Metformin to help…
I No Longer Have Diabetes!! NOT!!!
It irks me when people post that they no longer have diabetes. If you "no longer have it", you never had it to begin with and if you DID have it, you are controlling it. Like alcoholism, its NOT curable. Rant over....
Ravelympics/USOC Controversy
For any of you who arent aware of this whole thing, the NPR website has a story on it. Since I cant post the URL here, you will have to do a search for it. But its interesting, thats for sure. And I am proud to belong to a social network that is passionate enough to fight for their dignity!!
Age Spots Fading?
I have had age spots on my hands for several years now. I am finding that when I eat healthier, the spots fade....not completely but noticeably. Is this a coincidence or does a change in diet help that sort of thing?
