How do I get rid of this PEST?
No, this is not about bugs, ants (they are bugs I believe.) mice or rats but I must say I much prefer the company of a rat over Miss Jones. This is not her real name but it will have to do!
What about Miss Jones? Well she is a member of our bridgeclub and..... here it comes folks, she likes to improve on my health. Let me say that she wants to make me perfectly healthy! Yes, how about that? Who could possibly object to that? I DO!
When she sees me coming in her eyes light up and she gets ready for the attack questions. Things like did you check your blood sugar before you came down? You play bad if you don't you know! Heck, I can play badly without testing my blood sugar. No, she is never my partner, thank God I'm not a single because she would soon drive me up the wall with her interest, Johanna is my partner in more than one way!. At coffee break she is right behind me watching what I put in my coffee.
The access to the cookies is blocked by her rather large behind. Let's say, she means well but goes about it driving me up and over the wall.
Yeah! At one time I gave her a webside to educate her self about diabetes. She became very upset about that because as she said she will never turn into a machine like those using a computer! No. she says, she knows all about diabetes because her sister who lives in the East, tells her about not using sugar in her tea, something that surely will give you diabetes. With other words, anyone having the misfortune telling her they have diabetes,will forever damn themselves for telling her! Anyone putting sugar in their tea, has had it...
You know in a club, you are supposed to be friendly like I'm the friendliness myself, so to pick a fight with her is out of the question, she offered to come to my home to tell me about her sister who has diabetes..... I said, I don't like talking about it because doing so will surely raise my blood sugar!
I asked Johanna to make poisenous cookies to give her, but she refused.
In short friends, who is going to rid me of this pest? You Brutus?
JB, that's me!
Maybe she would like a pamphlet or a book, instead. Some people are deathly afraid of using computers – my mother being one of them, and she is almost 70. Maybe you can stroke her ego a little, and say “If you want to learn how to help me, and make sure I don’t get in trouble, you can read this pamphlet, or book… That way if I have a low, you’ll know what to do.” – Not that you will ever need her help, necessarily… but sometimes, that’s the only way you get rid of these people. OR… You could say “Thank you, my wife Johana has a very strict diet plan for me that we have already established, and she is aware of what I eat and she’s my helper, and I don’t need any more help, but thanks again.” (You know, it’s all crap, but hey… Maybe she’ll get the hint that you’re taken, and she doesn’t need to be such a busybody! lol) There was also a manners pamphlet, somewhere, to hand out to people… Maybe someone will share it. I can’t find it right now.
