Introduction

My wife has a blog, and it's pretty entertaining. She discusses the things that interest her (several reality TV series, fashion, some furniture, more reality TV) and gets pretty excited when someone new comments on it. Unfortunately, none of her posts or the accompanying comments ever address the relevant topics of life. Not one mention of sports, cars, Mario Van Peebles movies, LCD Soundsystem, or how to get free crap. I encourage others to comment on their experiences as they pertain to those topics, but really I just gotta get this stuff off my chest.

I work in medicine, and this blog gets its name from a too-common response to the question "Do you have a history of diabetes?" As in, "No. No no no no. I got a touch of the sugars, though."

What does that mean? That usually means that if you were to stab them, swarms of bees and whatever bears travel in would promptly descend upon the hospital trying to get at the sweet, sweet nectar flowing from the patient.
