Bac4uw, if you look at the back of the upper arm, there is a small area there between 2 muscle groups that has a little bit of fat or skin. You can inject the needle there and I've found it rarely hurts unless I get it into one of the muscles. When I first stared injecting there, I would lean against a corner and push the spot up to make the little "fatty" area easier to inject into. After I got used to it, I found I didn't have to do that any more. I do inject it at an angle to make sure it doesn't go into the muscle. The fat, or skin is not very thick there.

Say you'll share with
me one
love, one lifetime . . .
Lead me, save me
from my solitude . . .

Say you want me
with you ,
here beside you . . .
Anywhere you go
let me go to . . .
Christine,
that's all I ask of . . .
(you)
