Thanks, been "lapsing" on self testing [View all]

Mostly I find it's harder to cheat when you do not do it religiously on Monday Wednesday Friday as my dad used to. But I had not done it.

Also when I know I will get physical, fire coverage, I take it with me. While I know alcohol will change the measurement, that is one place I use it. It's not like you can find a bathroom in the middle of a wild fire.

I don't let it (or the rest) stop me.
