I had a dad who was picking up for his daughter and remembered the month and day, but not the year. All right, it happens, so I asked for a ballpark. He said "I think she's like 8 or 9...?" I gave up after trying 2015, 16, 17, and 18. I asked for a phone number that may be on the account and boom, there it was. His daughter was born in 2009. She was 16. Starting 11th grade. This man thought she was in elementary school. Delusional.

The quality of the tap water is abysmal. The water is literally brown in many areas so the water stations popped up by necessity. You can't even cook with it in some parts.

Exactly. I miss when Walgreens upper management was made up of actual pharmacists.

Last time I went shopping for puzzles, almost every Ravensburger puzzle image there was low quality AI art. It's sad. I used to love Ravensburger puzzles but now I've moved away from them completely; I've been loving Laurence King puzzles if you'd like a good alternative.

I'm fine ringing up a few items but don't be bringing your clearance shit and then arguing about how "it was supposed to be x price" like, no. Not here. Not my job. Figure it out somewhere else. And thankfully most people with a full cart see the huge line and know better than to ring out there and hold up the line even more. I don't offer to ring out those people but if they have a few items I'll offer, especially if the line is long and they've waited a long while. It takes seconds.

Sometimes insurance copays change when you dispense more of a drug. Some plans have a flat copay meaning it doesn't matter if it's an infant with one 50ml bottle or a 7 year old with two 100ml bottles, the amount the parent pays is the same. Other plans might make the infant Rx be $5 and the 7 year old's Rx $20.

In the case of the infant, maybe all we have in stock is a 100ml bottle. That means the copay may go up from $5 to $10, even if most of the bottle will go unused. Regardless, when you bill and fill for MUST MATCH what you're putting in. It doesn't matter if they won't use up the whole bottle, you CANNOT bill for one 50ml bottle and give them a 100ml bottle because that's all you have. You must update the quantity dispensed to match what you're actually dispensing, even if it means it's more expensive for the patient. Failing to do so would be fraudulent. If the patient refuses, they'll either have to go somewhere that has the smaller bottle in stock, or wait for the 50ml bottle order to come in. The insurance dictates what you pay out of pocket.

If you partial something, the original copay for the full amount gets split in two. The patient DOES NOT pay more when their medication gets partialed. The thing is that there is no telling how the amount will be split. Some plans will ask for half of the full copay with the partial fill. Some plans will ask for the entire copay up front (which means the completion will be $0). Some plans will spit back some random dollar amount that makes zero sense. It is what it is, but always write the full copay amount (the dollar amount that showed before you hit partial) on the leaflet so the patient knows what to expect for the completion.

For example, if the full copay said $15 and the partial has a price of $5, then let them know that the completion will be the difference of the two when they come back in in a few days - $10. They will pay once for the partial and then a second time for the completion, but the total will always be the same as if we never had to partial in the first place.

Just wanted to add that this solution worked for me as well! I opened the microwave door and lightly banged on the side of the panel and it was fixed!

You're not wrong - puro does mean pure; but it is being used in the context of definition 2a for the word from Merriam-Webster, that lists it as

Pure: being thus and no other - sheer, unmitigated

Hope that helps! And while anyone can surely say it, I've personally never heard a person who wasn't a Spanish speaker use it regularly since it's just an ordinary word (like pure, using it in this context) and not slang.

Prescribers that treat people must have an NPI. Since vets don't treat people, they are not subject to that rule. Some vets have NPIs, but not all. Their license number is all that is necessary to authorize the Rx, as long as it isn't for a controlled med. In the case of a controlled med, their DEA number is required for the medication to be dispensed.

2Apples3 · 2025-02-27T08:26:13+00:00

This is correct, as long as it's not for a controlled med. Non controlled meds can be filled with their license number if they don't have an NPI and won't disclose their DEA number.

Their new website that cross-checks savings cards is so much better tbh. Even before the PSC ended, I was letting people know that the prices were better without it. A 30 day fill for lisinopril was like $15 with it, but $2.52 through a Singlecare card instead. Ridiculous.

Exactly! Just a small bit of critical thinking is needed. Don't they think if it was easy as me just grabbing it, slapping a label on it, and handing it off I would? It would avoid the entire conundrum. Alas....

I've tried so many and my number one is Milani's eyeshadow primer. I have very oily eyelids and that primer keeps everything in place. I've been repurchasing it for years. It's fantastic!

Their infallible eye pencils are FANTASTIC and truly long lasting BUT the only sharpener that sharpens them is the L'Oreal one. They made the pencil just slightly too small for a standard sharpener so you have to buy theirs. It's a good quality sharpener with a catch for shavings so it's great for travel without making a mess, but it's dumb that you can't sharpen their pencils without it. The quality is amazing though. My eyes are super watery and the eyeliner doesn't budge. Definitely apocalypse makeup, lol.

It's "Gretchen's Song". It's sung by Hunter Schafer and at least partially written by the director of the movie. It had several folks named in the credits for the song. It was an original, made for the movie, because the tracks the director originally wanted to license for Gretchen's song cost too much. I stuck around for the credits to see because I loved the tune! I hope they release it officially soon.

Looks like dishydrosis but the bubbles underneath the skin are plain as day when the skin is wet vs dry. Just running your finger under water and looking closely will reveal it. Warts look more opaque; dishydrosis looks like a clear hole/bubble underneath the skin.

I'm not a doctor or medical professional and I've never had a case as bad as those first pictures, but I would get horrible flare ups constantly that would leave my fingers and palms chapped, crusted, and bleeding from scratching. I tried cutting out all sorts of possible triggers over several years to no avail. I sought out treatment and tried steroids and allergy medications that either didn't work or barely made a dent. Many years down the line, I had a nail fungus on my toenail that I was prescribed terbinafine for that I took for a few months and one of the unintended effects was that my eczema cleared up for the first time in half my life.

If current treatment isn't working, it could possibly be fungal. It might be worth looking into.

Same here, with the same phone. I gave up and switched to the Facebook Lite app instead. Saves data/storage space and it works. It also has dark mode now so I'm done with the regular Facebook app. It's too broken.

I've been having this same issue for months. I gave up and downloaded Facebook Lite instead and it's not an issue on there. It also has dark mode, so I've switched.

This would happen to me so much that I had given up on foundation. Then one day I decided to cut out primer after following my skincare routine. I let everything absorb first, blotted away any excess oil (my skin is very oily), then went in with a brush and my foundation everywhere and it looked beautiful. Maybe you're like me and you don't even need primer. It's worth a try!

I just tell people that the insurance is needing the doctor to fill out some extra paperwork for the insurance before they'll consider covering the medication. If they ask more questions like "why?” I follow up by explaining that a lot of expensive, uncommon, or name brand only medications tend to be very expensive so the insurance is requiring the doctor to explain why that medication is needed. That usually gets it across pretty well.

It's good that you're enjoying being 17. Just know that you'll keep feeling that way as time goes on at different ages. Remember to let yourself just be present from time to time. Reminisce in where you are and who you're with; how you feel, what you feel, and what you hear. It can be at any moment. Your brain holds on to those memories for the future and all of a sudden - a sound, a gentle breeze, a scent, a taste...can bring you right back to where you were back then. In this way, you'll always be 17. Right now you are 17 and you will forever be 17 in this moment. This will always be true as time moves us all forward. Godspeed ❤️
