    I just went through something similar (pharmacy issue) for my blood pressure medicine. My PCP retired and my mail-order (Express Scripts) refill would not refill, even though their website showed I had 3 more refills. :mad::mad: Doctor's office was no help; "they" said I have to see another doctor before a new Rx, even though I saw my retired PCP near the end of February. Just another freakin' money grab IMO.

    Either that, or--to put it in urological terms--they have the piss regulated out of them.

    That is why so many credit cards are issued in Delaware and South Dakota. Almost none are issued form Arkansas.

    I got a phone call from a nurse at the urology practice. She was pitching in to help "catch up" with the paperwork of my doctor (who she does not routinely support), and sounded exasperated. This business has 8 locations and over 40 doctors. The way the woman described the "thousands of refill faxes" surrounding her made it sound like a chaotic I Love Lucy episode.

    So it wasn't even my doctor's nurse who processed this thing, it was the pinch hitter, who was looking at "what others did" when refilling a similar script. She's gonna send in enough refills to cover me for a year.

    and if you miss payments it raises other bills like insurance
    ???
    Elizabeth Warren was fighting this about 10 years ago but making housing unaffordable for normal people is the goal of the WEF. And we know who pays Congress.

    My younger brother had his car insurance premiums go up because he trashed his credit rating. I guess if the stats support charging males more for car insurance that females, then the insurance companies can justify this as well. But it truly is kicking someone when they're down.

    Cleavers are a gentle herb at this time of year. Thought it would be useful for those with kidney and lymph issues. I personally just take extra potassium for fluid retention but this would seem gentler.

    So I got the rejection email from Synchrony. It includes an Application Reference Number and a link so I can go online and see why they rejected me. The Application ID Fields include the Ref#, the last 4 of my SSN, and my birthday. When I enter them, the website claims that there is no such record. I wonder if I fat-fingered the application. I'll call them Monday.

    My wife had a problem with Synchrony but she called them and everything straighten out nicely. I hope you have the same experience.

    I put the above out of a group I've been a member for years...Most said this:


    I believe in America because I believe in the spirit of survival we all inherited from our strong minded ancestors from various ethnicities who settled this amazing land.

    I believe in America because I believe in myself and I believe in all of you americans who are trying your darndest to find a way out of this mess.

    I believe i
    n America because even if we vehemently disagree, we are inextricably bonded together as fellow americans by ties we do not even fully comprehend.

    I believe in America because unlike China or Russia we do not have accumulated burden of thousands of years of historical oppression. We are young and we started off with something of a clean slate so to speak and we decided to make our collective fresh start into a deomocracy. Granted a limping rather badly tarnished democracy at the moment, but still by far the best game in town.

    I believe in America because there is still a solid core to this country that believes that when the going gets tough, the tough get going. And we may be battered and crippled, but we are still by golly tough, even if we have to remind ourselves of that now and then.

    I believe in America because those who made me, blood bone and sinew, fought for my right to live and be free and have a reasonable chance at health and happiness. I can do no less for myself, for you and for future generations.
    Blessings To all of Us

    The wars and destruction are a distraction from Agenda 21. Wilderness areas to be created by resettlement of the private property owners. They have already destroyed the money we might have used to pay our taxes...

    AND
    I don't want to go cashless or paperless. If there is a power outage from WHATEVER...
    I was in Aldi's once when their computers went down and if no one had cash, they had to close.

    This is what Purina did to the cat's favorite dry cat food. Added "chewy morsels." The cat has only 7 (all unopposed :mad:) teeth. She cannot chew things like this.

    One of the reasons she liked this cat food is the oval shapes---they're easy to swallow whole.

    Maybe the cat will sort them out. Or maybe she will reject the whole lot when she gets choked on a chewable. I guess I can pick them out. But do they have some nutrients the oval shapes are missing? I'm off to get a bag anyway. :rolleyes: She still prefers dry food.
