Hi all,
Thanks for your Hellos!
I agree that reading up on this is a great way to feel better and more enthusiastic about this.
I didn't even notice the sub-forum on diabetes yet so I really appreciate that bit of info. It takes a while to navigate everywhere!
Actually, I came by Artemis-rat as a handle many years ago when I first started to read Greek Mythology and then (finally) managed to convince my Mum to let me get a rat (I'd been begging for years). As a name for my first wee rattie, Artemis seemed to call to me:
Artemis -
virgin huntress - I was a virgin at the time and convinced that I always would be
moon - I am a Pagan so I have a special reverence for the moon
moon - rats are nocturnal
twin - her twin bother is Appllo and I am a Gemini (The Twins)
I use Artemis_Rat is honour of the Goddess and of my baby rat who is in the SummerLand now (She lived to the grand old age of 5 years!)
(Possibly more than you wanted to know?? teehee!)
You are an archer living in Surrey, BC? Perhaps you study via the SCA with someone I work with? His name is Luc Vail.
