Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

Because books.

Comes back, tells me that they're calling in an Rx for atenolol. Which is a pill for blood pressure, not an inhaler for asthma.

I remember that! That's so bad.

My doctor's office has gotten much better about prescriptions now that they have the patient portal online. My pharmacist is also a champ, and will totally call and bug them if something's not right, or if I go in to pick up something and it's not there.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I don't think so, but his body was NOT at all used to eating that much fiber. You would think it would have cleaned him out, but nope.

He generally eats like crap. Almost all red meat, potatoes and bread. I bet the only veggies he regularly gets are the lettuce and tomato on a hamburger.

not the brightest bulb this one.

You'd think all that cabbage would have the opposite effect.

Seriously.

I thought I'd say hi. It has been a while.

We missed you.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Missed you, ita -- so glad to see you back.

msbelle, I think I will be in Dallas April 25/26 for my DH's high school reunion. One of his classmates is a friend of Nathan Fillion. Since I have no interest in going to reunion things, I figure you can go as me.

Nice to see you, ita!

Good lord, msbelle, your co-workers. That nightgown totally makes a cute dress. I might have to swing by Target and see if I can find it...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

How are you feeling ita?

These are not the feelings you are looking for...

My last week's prescription rampages involved sitting in the doctor's office a week after I'd phoned in the refill request, two days after he said he'd have it in, one day after he said he'd definitely have it in, fifteen minutes after he said it's be there in under ten minutes.

I ended up just skimping on the pills and dancing with withdrawal.

And then the week afterwards they failed to fax in my IV prescription till the final hour--they ended up delivering the contents 10pm Friday night.

I don't blame my doctor's office--I blame the doctor.

So, yeah, really, nothing's changed. Welcome back to me!

Oh, no. Wish you didn't have that to complain about, but it's still good to read your complaints...
