so what you're saying is...
I saw this placard in the window at the lab* yesterday:
It's amazing that at no point during the production of that logo did anyone realize/point out/care that what they are actually saying is: YOU MAY NOT CREATE A ZONE WHERE HATE AND VIOLENCE ARE FORBIDDEN. sigh.
This reminds me of the sign that stood in front of our local high school for maybe six years (including at least one year when I attended, maybe two). I dearly wish I'd taken a photograph of it. It proclaimed the school to be a SUBSTANCE-FREE ZONE in very large, commanding, black type (above a series of circle-and-slash images of a cigarette, a martini glass, and a marijuana leaf). Telling, I thought.
*where my husband (the one who crashes when he eats half a piece of cake) had to do a three-hour glucose screen, involving basically consuming a cup of syrup, for those who don't know. It was a good thing the lab had an examining table where he could sleep.
Comments
When I was little and my mother used to tell me about how she was hypo or hyperglycemic, I can't remember which. She now has adult onset diabetes, controlled with medicine. I used to think that when you go in for the screening, they'd give you like all these candies and cookies and stuff to see how your body reacted to the sugar. I wanted to pretend I had diabetes to go to the doctors and get free sweets. Sometimes kids are so weird.

ugh, the bad grammar of that comment is making me dizzy.

Hi! I just found out I'll be taking a glucose tolerence test in a few months. Again.
And that's the most creative way I can think of to tell you.

Now I must call you. :)
