clearblue_monitor: look.  i'll make this easy.  are you bleeding?  is it cycle day 1?

Cycle day 5

julie: hey.
clearblue_monitor: pee on a stick.
julie: okay.  which end goes where?
clearblue_monitor: you know, the manual tells you.  it even has pictures.
julie: indulge me.
clearblue_monitor: fine.  "Hold the Test Stick pointing downwards in your urine stream for 3 seconds only."  that means the spongy part goes in the pee.  the business end by your business end.
julie: yeah, that part i got.  i mean where do i put the stick next?
clearblue_monitor: look at me.
julie: okay.
clearblue_monitor: are you looking?
julie: yes.
clearblue_monitor: do you see that long slot on my front?
julie: yes.
clearblue_monitor: all right, keep looking.
julie: okay.
clearblue_monitor: now, do you see ANY OTHER PLACE you could POSSIBLY insert a stick?
julie: you don't have to get so snippy.
clearblue_monitor: if you're finding that difficult, the manual also gives an alternate placement option. 
clearblue_monitor: you could shove it up your asssssss.
julie: somehow i doubt that's actually in the instructions.
clearblue_monitor: like you'd know.


Cycle day 6

julie: hey.
clearblue_monitor: pee on a stick.

julie: pee for all my friends!
clearblue_monitor: jesus.  "Push the Test Stick down until it lies flat and clicks into place."
julie: gather round, y'all!  i brought pee!  no shoving — there's plenty for everyone.
clearblue_monitor: you're not funny.  now listen: "When you have inserted the Test Stick correctly, the 'Test Stick' symbol will FLASH for 5 minutes while the Monitor reads and interprets the information in your urine."
julie: whoa, information in my urine.
clearblue_monitor: just put it in, okay?
julie: i wonder what it knows.
clearblue_monitor: lh and estrogen.  can i have that stick now?
julie: okay, it's in.
clearblue_monitor: thanks.
