Have a blast, Chris! Great to hear Amanda will get to meet some of the DOC crew – I’m sure she won’t be disappointed!

Best of luck, my friend! Congrats on taking that step forward, and it’s awesome to hear that COBRA came out much less expensive than you’d thought. I’m contemplating a career-changing myself and really wanting to get into the health care/D-advocacy PR/marketing world, but haven’t been able to convince myself it’s the best time until opps arise. Paying the bils and everything is, of course, the biggest thing. Here’s to looking optimistically at the future and the road ahead! Successful vibes your way, Chris!

The funny thing is…when I watched the video I thought it looked like the lake where my aunt and uncle have a cabin. Then I clicked over and saw “Vermont lake house.” I wonder if it’s the same lake!

No glucagon?

No phone?

No boat?

No cabins nearby except on the opposite side of the lake?

Guess I’ll have to watch the entire movie to find out.

Hey, our online lives must come second to real life. That’s the only way it can be. So, do what you need to, Chris! Good luck on the planning and hope everything balances out for you, front or backburner. Best your way, my friend.

Comment on Contour USB Review by Abraham

Look all; Like most of you I think it is a fantastic product, yet, I have a hard time owning a product where the pharmaceutical company is dictating whether or not, I can or can’t delete a reading.

I am not hiding from someone, this is not a drug test, nor is it a pill I am taking, yet when I did a favor for a friend who wanted me to do his reading on my meter, I saw no harm in it. Well the good news for him is his blood reading is perfect 4.7 – 5.0 (Canadian Reading) and mine averages 7.x – 9.x. Now my average is no longer accurate.

When I called them they told me you can’t and that they WONT allow me to delete a false reading or a mistake. Sine I paid for it and I am way older than 30 years old, why would they demand and dictate that your are not allowed.

My recommendation is that you NOT buy this unless you are willing to be told like a child that you can’t do this or that with simple tracking of your own meter THAT YOU PAID FOR……

BAYER LISTEN CAREFULLY – YOUR DON’T OWN US. We buy your meters and can easily go to another vendor that isn’t a dictator.
