And so you don't get addicted to leather, you can alternate with a bullet.

DH just said , Make sure it's a lead bullet. Don't wanna break your teeth!

This is an awful mess! If all the insurance CEO'S would have to get bone surgery they would realize how stupid this is!

It wouldn't matter in any case... They do NOT have to follow their own rules posted for their "members". Much like all of our elected congressmen and senators. They do NOT pay into social security and have their own retirement plan funded by us. Essentially, they receive their present salary for the rest of their lives when they retire. Social security is for us "poor citizens"... The insurance big wigs are not lacking for anything and everything they need as they are covered under their own insurance plans.

ETA; no, you can't buy into the insurance big wig plans. They are secrets and internal offers only and only available to the select few. Perhaps if you were rich enough, or connected to the right elected officials, you could participate in their special insurance plans.

On a brighter note, the chickens I procured a couple months back have finally provided a first egg. So at least one of them is no longer a freeloader. My guess is it's the one BO with developed comb and wattles... something the other 4 haven't developed yet. Hopefully they won't be too far behind. Smaller than the store bought extra large, but they'll get bigger over time as y'all know

There are people here that get their meds in Mexico... YOU have to have a prescription and have proof that you filled it per perscription when you cross back in to the US...

Nice part about latin the meds have the latin names on them ...

we used to go get diet pills in Mexico when I was about twenty three...

So true Perchie. I was sitting one night at work talking to the pharmacy rep who came though montly to do an audit and asked him about that. A medicine that I had just been prescribed, I think an antibiotic had cost me something like 145 dollars. I was told that the same drug in Mexico cost 7 dollars, why?

The rep just shrugged and said 'people down there can't afford 145$. Americans can.'

I had to get up and leave to keep from ripping him a new one. He was actually a nice guy but man that has stuck with me.

If you fill your antibiotic rxs at Publix, you get them free.

Seen as the released us on Sunday we could not use their pharmacy.
It upset me the pharmacy could not let us pay for the pills the insurance would not cover. To get a pain script here the Dr. Has to hand you a paper script. They cannot eFax them. And the Dr. Is over an hour from us.
Quite a racket they have going on. I will call the Dr. And tell them what happened.

Still in prayers sorry was flying never sat down at the computer

My head is doing great. And i have avoided whacking it again.
Anyone who knows MrsMistyReal, her hubby is basically dying now. Down to 114 lbs from 200. He is in hospital at the moment. I talked to her today.

tell Misty I still have them in my prayers please

It is weird to see so many wearing masks here! It helps a lot though.

Air Quality went to 186 here today. That is red and bad for all. A couple of places went to purple, over 200. Gridley went to 306 which is hazardous for all
