My great-grandmother was named Esther and called Stella. I kind of like that, though I also like Estie as a nickname. (It is very certain in my mind that my first daughter will be named Esther. If the child's father seriously objects to this, I'd possibly be willing to compromise to either Ella or Elizabeth, with Esther as the Hebrew name.)
Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

Baby names! So much fun. TCG and I agreed on baby names ages ago when we first started dating.
I just spent three hours at the doctors office trying to get some relief for my stomach pain. Nothing serious seems to be wrong, but I didn't get any good answers or good drugs. I did get a new perscription for my adderall. I can't believe I have to physically pick up a new perscription from my doctor each month. So, of course, I've been without it for a while.

It's because it's amphetamine, and having refills on it could lead you to selling your pharmaceutical-grade speed to high-school students.
No, that really IS the reasoning behind only prescribing one month at a time, and it's fucking ridiculous.

Aims, I think Emeline is the prettiest name I've ever heard, too. Goes well with the kid.

I could understand a restriction on prescriptions written to high-school students (because abuse of prescription drugs IS a fairly serious problem in schools these days), but dude, once you're over 18, the chances of your meds being sold on the schoolyard go WAY THE FUCK DOWN.

Right? I rant about it once a month, and *I'm* not even the one taking it.

Teppy, I understand the reasons, but I still find it aggravating. Plus, getting treated like a criminal by the pharmacist is so much fun. As long as I am only refilling it every 30 days and my doctor says I need it, I should just be able to go to the pharmacy and get what I need.

Yeah, well, thank you War on Drugs, and crime alarmism in general. Crime alarmism is one of those things that has no relation to the actual statistics on crime.

Oh, I wasn't disagreeing with you. It's extremely aggravating, especially the treat-you-like-a-criminal part.

For a similar drug, at my HMO I have to physically take the signed paper prescription down one floor to the pharmacy. All the rest of the prescriptions go through the computer system.
