I'm glad you had a good time while you were in canuckland despite the tragedy of what followed.<br /><br />I sure did laugh at the picture of the dill pickle chips. They are one of my favourite chips!! and ketchup chips were a staple in my family growing up.<br /><br />Hope you're doing well. thanks again it was amazing to meet a DOC celebrity!Scullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05745442527137426283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-52906454786879935092011-11-18T18:27:54.567-05:002011-11-18T18:27:54.567-05:00Aw, Kelly, this was a lovely write-up. I'm so ...Aw, Kelly, this was a lovely write-up. I'm so glad to have met you; it was my very first D-meetup ever and I was so close to turning around and going home because I couldn't find anyone and then I saw your friendly face. It was an awesome time and I'm just sorry that it's linked to painful memories. There's now a small exhibit called "Insulin: Toronto's Gift to the World" at the MaRS Centre, which is at least a bit more of a tribute (along with the new $100s that have insulin on them - a fitting tribute to how expensive it is). Jamie and I are trying to find a time to go see the exhibit.<br /><br />In any case, of course I saw you to the subway. You made my first D-meetup totally awesome, it was the least I could do to not leave you stranded on the street.<br /><br />You should totally come back sometime. Nobody can resist the allure of Timbits and ketchup chips for long...Ilana Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00092723503664563661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-36300979214212942602011-11-18T14:30:20.880-05:002011-11-18T14:30:20.880-05:00Aw, D meetups are the best.

You should know that. She knows it.

I loved meeting with you, and know that Larry and Keeta (the wonder dog - and where is she looking?!) loved the adventure too. We may have dill pickle chips (come back and try some!!) and our smarties rock http://bit.ly/f8EJxw. But seriously, the visit was so much fun, and we should do it again!Jamie Naessenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11751922041019686353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-40695803709586702872011-11-18T14:16:45.087-05:002011-11-18T14:16:45.087-05:00There's so much I want to say in this comment!...There's so much I want to say in this comment! FOr starters, I loved the Clifford reference, and the Scott Johnson post made me laugh! As for the DOCers, I'm so happy you were able to connect with them! I've only been able to do this once, and I cannot wait to do it again (and hopefully you'll be part of that). As for the Banting/Best thing, I'm disappointed, too. This was such a HUGE discovery and it still is! I can't believe more was not done to recognize those men. But lastly, I'm sorry the memories of the trip are bittersweet, but I'm glad you were able to go! Oh, and you look fantastic in that green/white dress!victoriacumbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09533867213371141782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-82001284800215661482011-11-18T13:39:25.742-05:002011-11-18T13:39:25.742-05:00Not sure if you saw this already but you may be ha...Not sure if you saw this already but you may be happy to know that their is now a monument to Sir Banting & Best at the U of T http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/story/2011/10/27/f-banting-honour.htmlNicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07233907890324278905noreply@blogger.com
