[Diabetes-talk] Testing/test strips!

[William and Bernadette Jacobs]

I like that Grant!  Short and sweet and, of course, straight to the point! 
Phantabulous advice my friend!  And, of course, by the way, not only you, 
but I hope everyone plugging in has a most Blessed Easter!  Just don't 
forget the reason for the season gang!  I think this even surpasses 
Christmas for my favorite holidays.  I so cherish the beautiful music, 
colors, spring, the smells and all, even if I am alergic and can only take 
them in tiny doses./just don't get too close to the Easter lillies!  They're 
almost lethal for me!  Even the grocery stores are painful for me this time 
of year.
