Hi guys, thanks for the warm welcome! I live in Louisiana. I love the Libre

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young,
compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of
the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of
these.
