I have folks in town who are interested in this, I just share it is out 
there, and how to get to the site if they wish to look at it.
I share how it was harder for me to get started but it doesn't mean it 
will be the same for them.

>>> Hello Dar,

>> and you will hear a double beep when the reading has been taken.
>>> After the double beep you will hear the BG and trend arrow speak out
> loud.

>>> I hope this helps.
