My accomplishment of the day, in case any one was wondering, was spending $30 of the remaining $86 FSA dollars I have left this year to go to the doctor so she could write me prescriptions for over the counter medicines (and Ambien) so I can spend the remaining $56 dollars. I went in asking for prescription drugs, but under my insurance, they cost a lot less than OTC drugs, so I wouldn't have made it to $56.
WOOHOO OTC RAMPAGE THIS WEEKEND!
Also, healthcare in this country is fucked up.

Mr Peabody will refuse anything he perceives as a bribe.

Agreed times infinity.
One of the tube feeding moms I know has a kid whose food won't run through a Joey pump. But that's the only thing her insurance will pay for. If she uses a Zevex pump, it's $200 out of pocket each month. Or she could go to ebay and buy a Zevex (and it's possibly illegal only because it probably was purchased with medicaid funds or the like) for like $400.
When you are buying medical supplies from ebay there is an issue with the system. I know this as a person who buys medical supplies from ebay.
Or I make my own supplies which is also freaky and possibly bad. We can't get enough split 2x2 gauze to satisfy our nurse's need to change it all the time. So I made flannel pads that are the same shape and size and we are using those. Because reusable!
Hah, yes Ginger. I get that too.

Damn, Kato would eat a ROCK just to make sure it wasn't food.
I think my parents' dog has maybe refused lettuce. Once. After picking it up and then dropping it again.
Work has been sucking sweaty monkeyballs today but overhearing "More calls about moonshine, please" from a coworker just now made me snort with laughter.
For those of you who were born in or before 1965, have you been told you should get screened for Hep C?
I guess that is the new thing for baby boomers. [link]
Also, I guess the CDC considers me a baby boomer.
The CDC is wrong: the baby boom ended in 1964.
And no, nobody has told me to get screened for Hep C. Huh.
