Guest guest Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 Yes its what I have too. I like it the best. But how much are the strips after the initial 45? Sounds like the one that Walgreens puts out too. Strips are about 40 for a hundred. -- " Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.
