sram-ams(alcohol monitoring bracelet

Anyone wearing or ever worn one of these gadgets? I was just fitted with one yesterday after having my 2nd Dui over a year ago. Am already forming skin abrasions and am concerned about ulceration sores,infection etc. I had been sober 2 years when I relapsed last march and I got popped again, it had been 2years since the first. I have been sober since and managed to drag the court thing on for 10 mnths until this past Jan. when I was sentenced this is part of a very harsh sentence I was given. No one has told me yet how long I have to wear it before I can petition to have it removed. The pain and the financial strain $400.00, a month is unreal. Anyone have any insight or advice about this? Thanks.

Found the video for that song on Yahoo music. They've played it and sang it at the church I attend. The Pastors daughter is incredible on the piano and a wonderful singer, and their whole choir is fantastic. A great melange of people attend the church black white hispanic,all kinds of great people. Great song I guess it'll be in my head all day now! Also last night Tom and I watched the movie "The bucket list", with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, WOW what a great movie, you guys should see it. It makes you think a lot about life much like the movie Crash if you've ever seen it, if not you should see that one too!

Mornin Ladies! Woke up this a.m. with this song in my head, maybe you've heard it, it's a christian praise song called "shackles" some of the words are "take these shackles off so I can dance, I just want to praise you". Tried to find it on puter but haven't yet. Well thats about how I feel.Not to worry I'll be dancing soon! I have faith and I claim it!!!! Tonya you have a ball w/ those girls today, you are Soooooo LUCKY! My son lives in Key West, it's close but yet far, especially since I can't go anywhere much less thru 3 counties. When I get this thing off I am going to start a fund so that I can send him $$$ for gas to come up here,also rent him a car so that I know they'll be safe coming and going.My grandson will be 4mnths old tomorrow, born Feb. 13th. I teased Bobby (my son) that the baby likes the #13 because Bobby was born Oct. 13th. He called me Mothers day and I was able to hear the baby fussin and crying a bit in the background while he was feeding him,,,It brought tears to my eyes and an ache in my heart I can't describe.I have never met or seen his girlfriend but from what he says shes one messed up little girl. Father shot mother years ago he commited suicide and her mother just recently died. Bobby tells me she is somewhat resentful of the attention he pays to Jr. Yes he named him after himself Robert James Jr. I wish I were close to be a mother-in-law and help her in any way I could. We'll see you never know good things can happen! Sorry you are hurting from your teeth- didn't I tell you you'd look beautimus...Take a picture with a big smile and post it, one with your grandbabies. How old are they? Ibizan you have a sense of humour much like mine, I can't imagine what a ruckus us 3 would create if ever got together in 1 place! It'd be hilarious!!!! Going to wk around 1:30 today as usual gonna let this shackle do it's thing and go back down there tomorrow. It seems like the sensors, or in this case sensor is making indentations on my skin in the identical pattern of the little holes and crevices of the device itself. I am a little worried that the Judge might think I was doing it to myself because of the recent motion my atty submitted, but, it's very obvious that it is caused from the piece of $%@! itself!!! Besides I'm not into inflicting pain on myself much less paying $84 a wk to do! Standing By, Terry

Well girls it is good to see y'all carried on without me.  Sorry to hear about your new bracelet Terry.  They are gonna have to take it off and figure something else out for you.
Hope it isn't any other torture treatment.
Ibizan my friends son is a bartender in Park City, Utah.  He said Lindsey hadn't been out of rehab but a day or two and she was in the bar belting them down.  This was a couple of months ago.  I hope something will click for her and she can stay sober.
Brought our girls home with us.  So, they are running around with me tomorrow in the jeep with the top off.  woohoo finally some nice warm temps here. We are going to the park and the river runs right by it.  
My veneers look so good, but i am hurting from all the shots.  But, dang the teeth look good.  How long does a black eye last?  This one has been 2 weeks and still not gone, but i have to say it is a good lesson for me to look in the mirror every morning and see it.
Thank goodness for makeup though.
okay, i will check on the latest with you two in the a.m.  I am one beat Nana and have 3 days ahead of me to entertain these two munchkins.  Terry, where does your son live?  You need some pics. of that baby.  How old is he?   Tonya
