Tweetable quotes:

“ Sometimes, even though we want to be spontaneous, it can be difficult. Somebody says: Hey, I booked a trip. We're leaving in 30 minutes. Well, that's great. I appreciate your attitude, but it's gonna take me two hours to get all my stuff together.” - Amber Clour

“A lesson learned there. Life for everybody else who doesn’t have diabetes, who’s you know, working with somebody who does is: Hey, if there’s one rule, be patient and be understanding because we got a lot of stuff we got to worry about ” -  Dave Kliff
