cofeefan- I just brought it up out of the blue pretty much..well not totally cuz we had discussed why I am going for the degree that I am going for (in health field) and I sort of gave a vague answer “just cuz i like it”- same answer I give everyone else..So I said remember you asked me why im becoming a ___ well now I have to tell you the real reason…and then I told him…and the story of how, when, what, where was just for interest sake..He didnt ask to many questions I think he didnt want to pry cuz he was afraid I didnt want to talk about it.
About the black dots- mine arent really noticeable. Maybe you should lower the lancing number. I do it on #2.
