How often do you worry about diabetes complications?

I hate to admit this, but I'll risk being unpopular and just say how I feel. I'm getting pretty sick of the Jonas brothers. It's like they are everywhere. In my Us Weekly, in Parenting magazine, on the Target commercials and now here on dLife.

 

I'm not sure exactly why I find them so annoying. It could be that we're from the same community. One of them went to my husband's alma mater, and my husband's cousins went to church where their dad was a pastor. I've been to the church too, and saw their dad preach and sing there (quite moving, I might add) long before they became famous.

 

It could just be the typical jealousy that occurs when someone local makes it big. Kind of like the way I felt about Trixter when I was in high school. (Kudos if you know what I'm talking about...you are as old as I am, wink, wink.) I've heard local kids around here call the Jonas Brothers, the Bogus Brothers. Maybe it's rubbing off on me too.

 

Or maybe it's that Nick has diabetes too. At first, I remember feeling a sort of camaraderie with him, as I do with all my dPeers. Now that cute little curly haired Nick is the new Bayer spokesman for diabetes, I realize maybe the ubiquitous Jonas Brothers are a constant reminder of my own disease.
