I've been using the Accu-chek Aviva for several years. It's been very reliable. They recently upgraded to the Aviva Plus. Before, you had to use test solution to key every new batch of test strips to your meter. But with the Plus you can use a new batch of test strips without coding them with test solution. The lancet is pretty pain-free, too.

'Help'
Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?
Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
thanks, y'all.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I hope you have answers soon, Askye. You too, Hil.
During my best friend's father-daughter dance at her wedding, I totally grabbed one of the disposable cameras and ducked outside to take photos of the gardens with zillions of bird houses at the adorable place she chose for her venue.

Always Anti-fascist!
Do you think pointing out the array of immigrant kitchen staff in restaurants is racist? Because I am now hearing from(thankfully a blessed few) caucasians that ever picked up a dish in the course of their life's journey. I wasn't trying to say they were born for it, or even that that's why I want them here. But I know what the end-game is, that I totally get off course showing off my lack of bias... at the same time, though, just because you get called out by someone trying to provoke you, doesn't make what you said not racist.

Thrive to spite them
Bloodwork is good. I have an appointment with the GI on Thursday. I have been following a very limited diet. Well I had chocolate today but I have been eating plain. It hasn't helped as much as O had hoped. So far the medicine has been the bigger help.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
My sister and I just arrived in Seattle on our epic (or maybe not quite epic) Pacific NW road trip. She went out to take a walk a little while ago, and came back and reported, "This entire city is smoking pot."

Welcome to seattle! And yes it does often smell that everyone is busy smoking up

I just posted about possible Seattle meet-up plans in F2F.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I've now had two doctors tell me that I'm getting to the age where I shouldn't be on the pill, due to risks of heart attack, stroke, and blood clots. Unfortunately, I think that I'm getting headaches before my period each month, tied to hormones.
The other option for hormonal birth control is the IUD, but I'm a little leery. I know some of you have had painful procedures. Can anyone talk about it, either successful or unsuccessful?
