Maybe, maybe not. Type 1s get complications just from being a Type 1. I had a former co-worker who died a few years ago, just in her early 50's; not a drinker. A student worker in my department had to be taken to the hospital in a helicopter because of a dangerous low. I'm Type 2 and have had a couple of lows that I thought might take me out. I'm fortunate that I can still feel a low, since I don't have them very often. Type 1s can be 'blind' to them. It's not unusual for a Type 1 to die in their sleep because they don't wake up from a low. So unless we know Steve's father had other issues, he could have just died because that's what happens to some diabetics.

This made me think of a local ice cream flavor we have. The store is closed on Sunday.

Two thoughts: 1. It's a real diamond - used from Craigslist. 2. It's fake and he'll tell her he got a fake one so he could spend real money on a new house/car (which he won't do anytime soon).

He has a harsh tone with her. I'm not hearing the love. Re the baby on the shoulders - this is a newborn, not a 4 yr old. Asuelo (sp?) has no idea what he is doing.

He's 20 and hasn't had much in the way of a home life. I don't think he's a terrible person, but he hasn't had to put himself in anyone else's shoes yet. And, he has NO idea what Olga just went thru w/the C-section.

Where is the love with Colt and Larissa? Why do they love each other? I think I said this before - what do they do together? What are their values? What about a spiritual life? Are children planned? I dunno. I don't see anything, about either of them, that would make me say, "Yeah, this is a good person and I can see building a life with them."

What? He's got bed bugs and knowingly put someone in the bed?

Jeez. I hope not. My step-father was a litigator and trust me, no one can mess you up like an anesthesiologist. He needs to keep his eyes on his patient and the machinery, not giving water.

My little pumpkin was almost 10 pounds. 2 days in back labor and broke my coccyx. For obvious reasons, he's an only.

Do we know what Colt does for a living?

Yeah, that went thru my head as well. I do think it was sweet, and probably the right thing to do if you are going to give water to someone in surgery, that he poured some in the bottle cap and didn't try to pour from the bottle down her throat. He's a guy. You never know.

Perhaps I am not as heartless as I think I am. I tuned in just in time to see Steven's baby being born. I'm not a baby person and the only child I ever really liked was my own, but the tears just came. How sweet. Lord, I know it is going to be tough for these two, but keep them in your loving embrace. When I watch them, I have to keep in mind that guys came home from WWII and got married w/o dating for long periods of time. Missionaries come home and many pretty much get married shortly thereafter. People used to do it - and they didn't wait until they had a house or fancy job, they just got together and worked it out. Shoot, I think I knew my late husband for about 3 months before we got married - and it lasted 14 yrs until he passed away. My son dated his ex for 2 yrs and the marriage didn't last that long. So, who knows!

I remember reading an interview w/Blais after Top Chef. He said that even if you don't win, behaving well on the show could open other doors for you. I keep that in mind when we see people like Elise and Jackie. They will never realize what other opportunities they could have had, even if they didn't win, if they had just come off like decent people, good cooks, and sportsman-like. I notice that Kevin and Ariel have done well, but then, I'm not surprised. Now that Kevin and T are gone, I have no idea who's going to win. Scotley can take his sexist bullying self away any time now. Could Trev win??? Roe? I have no idea. I'm not sure about any of the rookies. Jose looks good. Kanae has done well at times (and I find her TH funny as heck), but I'm not seeing a sure shot yet.

Obviously by someone else.

I noticed that the bed was down pretty low, not like our hospital beds. I follow this Russian guy (Real Russia on YT) and a few years back he was in the hospital. 3 people in a room, no privacy curtains, and very low beds. He seemed OK with it, but looked like a hostel, not a hospital, to me.

Yeah. She could have told the friend, whether you like it or not, "I'm getting married. You have a choice - attend the wedding and be happy for me and keep your thoughts to yourself or not attend. I'm cool with either way."

I don't have a problem with that. They aren't married yet. I wouldn't hand my credit cards over to some one who, in essence, is still a stranger. But if he really wants Larissa to get some furniture, he should have told his mother to let Larissa pick what she wants up to a certain amount.

I'm just gonna say that this 'Mama Medium' who speaks for those who can't speak for themselves should be taken out and shot for preying on the vulnerable.

Different stores have different rates. I frequently get 5% off, especially with QVC. "I always wanted to be a doctor in America. You can make a lot of really good money here." Yeah, lady. I want you looking at my lab results just thinking about how much you can make off of me and my insurance. Maybe you can pretend to have an interest in the patient. That's enough for me. Take your family and go back to Indonesia.

WTH?? Eric invites the ex to the getting-to-know-you party? Cheap and clueless!

Now that I think about it - Aliya jr got an account when he went away to college. Other than wanting to be able to put money in it, it never occurred to me to share it with him, or even look at his balance. Funny story - I opened a bank account for Aliya jr in our town for him to take to college. Sophomore year, we decided he should have a local account where he was going to school. When the woman asked what kind of checks he wanted, he said he didn't need any, he already had some left from the other account. This is why I don't blame young adults for not knowing this or that. There's a lot of things you just don't think about until you have to personally deal with them.

No mat leave in the US. Most people get 6 weeks after the birth of the baby, then it's back to work. It's nothing like Canadian mat leave.

I think I've seen it before - I watch a lot of these. But this version is colorized. I'm not a snob about these things, so I'm happy to look at a color version. Have you watched 'The Great War' on YT? They do every day in WWI, plus individual videos about people, weapons, the roles of women, etc. Now they have start a 6 yr project to do WWII on a weekly basis. Fantastic stuff.

My son lived with me until he got married in his late 30's. I put up with people saying, "Kick him out" for years. Why? We like each other, we're good company, and being a widow, I like having some male help around the house, etc. It's not the two of them living together that bothers me. I trust my son with my passwords, but we don't share accounts. There's just something a bit too close about the two of them.

I'm watching a 2.5 hour documentary on Stalin. You've gotta watch some garbage on occasion. Who is this girlfriend? She needs to butt out and let Ashley and Jamaica guy do whatever they're going to do. If stuff goes south, that's what happens when you hook up with a younger guy who thinks he's God's gift to women. His true colors will come out soon enough. No one needs you to stir up the drama. I'm just thinking - what the heck job is this guy gonna have? He doesn't have to support her, but jeez, he should bring something to the table. Why do women do this to themselves and their children?
