You have one loyal and amazing companion, Sharon.
This is an excellent video about a man and his dog - actually his wife's dog - but the story is still wonderful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2BfzUIBy9A
Scattelogical ramblings and desultory humor - Spring Ahead!
That was sweet, pirl.
I noticed when I was on the site that there's another video - Skidboot has left us.
He died in March 2007.
A very special dog.
Sad to know he's gone but he was such an amazing dog.
I went to the pharmacy to get my medications, but Blue Cross had changed my ID and Group No. What?. They didn't send me a card.
I could not get the medications.
They did send me a fat book with their phone no on it. Back to the pharmacy. The pharmacy called the insurance co. The insurance co wanted to talk to me. Yes. This is me. This is my social security number. This is when I was born.
O.K. we will give you your contract number. B.A.A.
Did you mean 'B' as in "BOY" or 'P' as in "PETER"?
O.K. This is your contract number. The pharmacist prepares to write down the contract number as I repeat it.
O.K. This is your contract number: WHAHOWEEEEEEOOOOOOOOEEEEEEOOOOOOOO!
That was the store manager starting up the vacuum right behind the pharmacy. Was he ever enjoying what he was doing. Finally, the pharmacist ran over to him and whopped him in the shoulder with a newspaper.
WOW! Finally I got the contract number. I gave it to the pharmacist. Then I went home after collecting my little bag of meds for the month.
Quoting:
WHAHOWEEEEEEOOOOOOOOEEEEEEOOOOOOOO!

Don't make me laugh so hard - i start coughing, and it's all downhill from there..!
heeheehee*coughCOUGH*haha*co-co-cough*
Great description!
I would not shop in a pharmacy with a dirty floor...
Victor: It does not have a dirty floor. The manager loves to vacuum. No matter what.
And victor.....sometimes those of us in small towns have only one pharmacy to choose from.
So funny, Gloria. Glad you got your meds.
I was only joking - poking fun at the mgr for making him stop!
Oh, I know Victor....but it is funny when your pharmacist owns the pharmacy and the surrounding store and is also on the city council and is a volunteer fireman......and when the siren sounds in the middle of the pill count.....and pills get flung from one end of the pharmacy to the other and he has to wait till he returns to sweep up the droped meds.......
In the meantime the pharmacy is locked and you are left standing outside still waiting on the meds, looking to see where the smoke is coming from.
Well, guess you gotta be there. It is pretty funny and it sure is OK to laugh.
That IS funny, Sharon! I hope he has an understudy!
Either laugh or cry or cuss!
Nope, but I think he has hired a local kid to sweep up for him.
Gloria, I don't know about Blue Cross, but many health plans now offer mail-order service for meds you take all the time. You usually pay for two months and get a three months supply.
Nice to know what the civilized world is doing! My insurance will not pay for mail order pharmaceuticals.
In fact, one company assured me my insurance would pay and they sent me 3 months supply. But the insurance wouldn't pay and I had to pay the full cost myself. 15$ a month for several years.
That's awful.
My insurance also would not pay for ambulence services to the nearest equipped hospital -- 35 miles away.
Next time I have a near-death experience I will remember all the money I paid in ambulance fees for years and years. Could you tone down those sirens a little, please!
That is just amazing about Jazz, Sharon! I fully believe from our experience with our rescued dogs that they will go to extraordinary lengths to show their loyalty, and we have seen incredible examples of their high intelligence as well. That is such a heart-warming story. I love it! And, I'm so glad you are doing better! Good boy, Jazz, the Wonder Cat!!!!
Gloria - I'm still laughing about your small town pharmacy story, AND your vacuum impression. Like Amy, you are making me cough from laughing!!!
Maybe the pharmacy has something for the cough...
That would be kind of cool to know everybody though.
Yes it would - especially when everybody is one guy.
Sometimes that guy who knows everybody is a creep. He likes to control everybody's business.
That's the downside.
They announced today that the final Harry Potter book will be made into two films! Gotta milk that cow as much as possible.
Personally I liked Nancy Drew much better.
I still have not read any of the HP books but we do like the movies. I read the Hardy Boys when I was young.
i haven't read the last book yet - i should get around to that now that i am a college dropout...
I might start with the last one and read backwards.
that would be tricky.
is it done with mirrors?
With magic...
