Sounds like you had a good time. That's good! I quite agree about adults who whine about stuff that they can do something about. (Anyone who's reading this, if you catch me doing it please gently hit me over the head) also Lamb and Rice pie? sounds delish I don't suppose you DH would care to share the recipie would he?
Some of us don't realize it's happening until someone points it out. I have a thyroid condition combined with hypoglycemia and sometimes don't even realize my blood sugar has dropped until it BAM happens and my personality changes and THEN the hunger hits. Yes it is just that fast and when conditions are right-I'm tired and the air conditioning is cranked or it is really hot--and my body isn't regulating its own temp properly, I have constant and unpredicable swings between ok and too low. My ex first pointed the signs of "you need to eat" out to me in my mid twenties some time AFTER I first started having the issue.
That's different than what we're talking about. Some people stand around saying. My blood sugar is dropping I can feel it. I should eat something. they don't actually DO anything. It's as if they expect some else to run around and wait on them. If you don't realise it's happeningand you need some one to point it out that's different kettle of fish. Once it's pointed out I assume you fix the problem.
Exactly what smoooom said. As a diabetic, I "get" that blood sugars can bushwhack you.
The person that annoyed me was wailing how blood sugar was low, that food was needed, and then *wouldn't* go when told to take a break, and called folks names because we wouldn't drop everything and go get food *for* that person and bring it back. I consider that pretty manipulative behavior, one of entitlement. "Gosh, I have blood sugar issues, so now I'm so important, you must do things for me instead of me taking care of myself."
An "Oh, my blood sugar is low. Can someone come with me while I get something to eat? I feel weird," is completely okay.
Please do post the Feed song! My husband and I enjoyed the signings at the concert but missed Sunday due to rehearsal. We were the faun and the girl in the orange dress.
Thank you. After having had someone sneer at me about it at an OVFF on Saturday for skipping the Friday filksing, I've been paranoid ever since.
As if signing for hours on end for the Pegasus wasn't physically tiring...then I had to go around to all of my friends and folks double-checking that I wasn't offending anyone with my many years tradition of signing the awards concert, too. (All my friends told me not to be silly.)
*hugs* I have had similar "comments" from folks which have influenced my thoughts on things.
It's funny getting simultaneous messages: "You're not a filker, you're an instrumentalist, you don't count," versus, "Where WERE you, you must be present at every circle all the time regardless of how many other things you do or you're being a Big Name Jerk!"
*sigh* Anyway. Just adding my voice to the "don't be silly"s.

I'm glad you had a good con!
