That moment when you wake up, try to check in for your flight tomorrow, and realize: the flight has disappeared from your itinerary. ?

Looks like my last trip pushed me to Spire Elite in IHG's (Holiday Inn) loyalty program. Meanwhile, I've got a few more flights to go on Delta before I hit Diamond, which will give me some nice benefits, including a complementary CLEAR membership. ??

awesomesauce!

Apparently they think so because, you know, you might resell the strips to someone else :P

Personally, I think the more often you test, the better picture you have of how your blood glucose is doing. 100 strips over 3 months is basically once a day. Even my doctor told me to test twice a day. I do 3-4 times a day.

According to Aetna, my utilization of blood glucose test strips is high. I easily use 100 test strips a month. Good thing I just buy the strips myself and don't go through Aetna.

My guess is that when I get my blood test done, I'll probably have an A1C of 5.5 or so, which won't be enough to convince my doctor to let me drop my meds.

That said, I'm happy I was able to replicate the functionality I need in Workflow so I can ditch Sugar Sense, which has gotten increasingly slow and crashes often.

When I log my blood glucose, I can now see my stats. And I can see they are clearly trending in the right direction ?? #diabetes

in a manner of speaking.

The good thing about older machines is that they include schematics. Also, most of the parts are replaceable. There are a few non-electronic things that are a wee bit harder to come by.

And yes, on some arcade game cabinets there is also some excellent art.

@kdfrawg I figured I was going to have to become more handy with electronics as a result of owning one. Didn’t quite happen.

@kdfrawg the guy has my same game, though he has the more common variety machine, I have the "limited edition."

And yeah, I just don't play it often enough to warrant keeping it. We came to the same conclusion with our foosball table, which the neighbor bought.
