I don't want to share my medical trials and tribulations because they depress me so much.
( no bs snarl )

Haven't forgot about the hanging pots photos my friend. With the sudden nose dive in temperature and high winds outdoor activities are on hold.

( no bs disappointed look )

 

[Big Lou]

I still can't wrap my head around mailing meds in the regular mail but if I get them that way through my insurance it is only 66 dollars for 60 pills instead of 380 dollars for 20 pills .So to save I have to use it .I know when dad in law had cancer it was 70 dollars a pill for his drugs .Sad the drug companies can charge all that money .

My GP thinks that because specialists are so special that they don't need to relate to people well. I am sorry but for the kind of money they make the can at least pretend to care.

to me every one has a heart and should prove it

I still have an issue with this. Of course, to save that much money, I would do it too, but is this for ALL scripts? What if say you went to the doctor with a nasty bug ... where you need an antibiotic right away? I had walking pneumonia a yr or so ago. Thought it was just a bad chest cold til one morning (a lot of folks had this same bug), there was so much fluid in my lungs it was hard to breath. Ended up in the ER where they gave me an injection of meds to help get the fluids out of my lungs, and gave a script ... in that case, I couldnt have waited on the mail. What does your insurance do in a case like that?

 

[Big Lou]

We use a private, meaning non-chain, one off pharmacy. They know us, we know them. Always. Always there for us. Could save money with mail order but I cannot ever run out of my most vital meds. Obamacare be damned.

JW, what are you doing with those rocks you schlep home in your pockets? Making stone soup as in the story so lovingly presented so long ago on Captain Kangaroo?

[sissy]

no with the ford plan you can go to the pharmacy and get your prescription for up to 90 days there and then after that you go to medco or express scripts to get your meds .I just bought lemon verbina and boy does those plants smell great .I was going to buy the pineapple too but really only wanted the lemon .

I just like the colored pots and why not get those bags in the dollar store of pretty glass stones and pretty colored rocks for in them .Your son needs to be a tad dirtier .My lilies are just sprouting out of there pots I forgot to lift them off the bottom of the pond what a dummy .

The rocks I am getting now are for around some garden beds next to our walkway to try and keep the cats from digging all the mulch/soil out every time a mole drives by thru the tunnels. They always seem to make their tunnels right next to the walkway pavement. Between the moles and the cats they create one heck of a mess there.
Here's what I'm talking about:

I see why the rocks weight you down! Really pretty beds. I have a friend who works at a botanical garden. She tells me they have terrible problems with moles.
