I just hate false advertising. Take Roche's "Acu-Check Aviva - Born and mad in the USA" line of propaganda for example. I call bullshit!

The advertisement featuring Robin Trueblood, who is "proud to manufacture meters and test strips in America", is nothing but a load of crap!

The meters are manufactured in Ireland and then shipped complete to the US. The test strips MIGHT be made in the USA, but given the fact they have a redundant line producing the same test strips in Puerto Rico, I am not so sure!

The only thing they do for sure here, is put together the care kits containing the strips and meters. . .

"Born in USA" my ass!  :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

As much as I love dogs, I hate it when you have a puppy and you think you have him house-trained. Then he has as "accident" in the middle of the night.

This has not been a good day......  :mad:  Fortunately though nothing else in the house is even running slow.

Bingo.

We have a new puppy in the house.

You need not say more.

I empathize.

Seems as though at some point in time a plastic fork or spoon handle got in the drain and somehow made the trip past the trap to the basement where the drain goes into the soil pipe and stuck there and it's taken who knows how many years, we've lived here 10,  to finally get enough hair and junk around it to clog the drain.    A day that was slowly turning into a nightmare has done a turn around and is ending on a positive note after all.  :biggrin:
