It is time to get back to searching the post to the group for those
gems that send me searching for more information.
I have been no mail since July. The first month and a half I was
traveling to Denver, Branson MO, Marion Kentucky, and Pelham Alabama,
with many stops along the way where I talked with a lot of diabetics.
Since then I have been busy building a new web site and now it is time
to ask for help.
The help I am seeking takes a few different forms. I am building a new
site for type 2 diabetics helping other type 2 diabetics.
There is still a lot of work to be done on the site and I will be
continuing that.

Oyster sauce and rice wine give this speedy stir-fry a rich flavor
that balances the clean, sweet crunch of bok choy. Make it a meal
with rice noodles or brown basmati rice. A tall glass of Tsing Tao
beer will make you feel like you’re eating in your favorite Chinese
restaurant.
