    We love all kinds of nuts and eat a lot of them.  My husband and I both deal with having high blood sugar.  I don't call it diabetes because I don't want it.  We deal with it.  It may sound crazy to not want to call something "my ________" but I am not claiming it for myself.  Haven't you ever heard how someone feels bad, and they continually tell themselves that they feel bad, and they keep feeling bad?  Even feeling worse as the day goes on?  That person has convinced themselves that they feel bad.  I feel good today.  Sunshine makes me joyful.  I love sunshine.  We love nuts.  My husband loves peanuts.  I prefer mixed nuts because I like variety.  Fortunately nobody in our household has an allergy to nuts.  It is our snack of choice, although my son is a chip person too.  He likes hot-and-spicy chips.  He drinks the "fire" taco sauce from Taco Bell.
