You cannot really see the etching, but it dims the glass luster. I had two friends, sisters, that I told not to wash my glasses. They took it upon themselves to "help" me and did so. I was so furious but did not say anything. Neve time, I will hide anything that could vaguely be used to clean anything! People can and will wash anything, so it is up to you. <br /><br />I want something particular, so all set.<br /><br />He explained this was his job to keep people happy. I told him getting my money plus tax was all I needed. He is a specialist who reads emails to company and fixes those problems, so he said he was thrilled to actually talk to a person. We hit if off.

I have never heard of soap "etching" glass--even old glass. I have pressed glass from my grandmother that gets washed with regular dish soap and water all the time. <br /><br />I think your $50 gift card is awesome! Buy something nice for yourself and tell us about it!<br /><br />That CS rep was certainly in the mood to chat and he got lucky enough to get you. I'm not sure how he was allowed to spend so much time talking to you, as their performance is measured in # of customer resolutions/hour. But he probably found you so charming and interesting that he just didn't give a crap about work metrics. ;^)Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17806666755044240033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221552491406434721.post-17572954798916856352022-09-27T13:16:11.123-07:002022-09-27T13:16:11.123-07:00I would have been happy to take the dress back to ...I would have been happy to take the dress back to the store for the third time and get a refund.

It does sound simple. <br />We had a very good day.

He knew what range the doctor wanted them to be, so no need for a call in monitor.

The clinic calls me with dosing instructions. After 5+ years of doing this, I'm better at dosing myself than any nurse or doctor. To them, I'm a number on a chart, but I know my body.Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00658565957242352144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221552491406434721.post-30068329978299641982022-09-26T19:59:27.907-07:002022-09-26T19:59:27.907-07:00susie,

And, if he was feeling cantankerous, he would keep the machine and not admit his blood sugar was low. He is mean, stubborn, and irrational when his blood sugar is low. He would insist he did not have to check it if he determined by thinking about it that his blood sugar was okay. <br />I drop pills all the time. It would be dangerous for a baby, dog, or cat to be around my chair. That needle would have been a problem! I am glad you found what he had.

I would just as soon use the machine's monitor instead of my husband's phone, or a phone of mine if I get another one. Do the meters that attach directly to the body have a better accuracy rate than the old fashioned ones that are in the case, that use all of those testing strips? I hate all of that fiddly little stuff like the strips, and the little needles and two separate caps to them if one uses insulin. I never had a problem with anything weird happening with that stuff if I dropped it in my chair and it went between the cushion and down onto the floor, but now with this little goofy puppy, it is a big worry. The other day she found one of the used needle in its plastic cap and was chewing on it. Oh, my God that could have been so dangerous. I heard her chewing on something and checked her to see and their was that needle still in the plastic cap. Our little Fuzzy Pomeranian would never have even touched one of those needles. He was a grown dog by the time I started using insulin. But he always had real good sense.<br />But Fritzi, the Pomeranian may be part goat. She acts like a young puppy and tries everything in her mouth. susie @ persimmon moon cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653330247272673990noreply@blogger.com
