little white pills

My pharmacist tells me lies. Either that or my prescription drug plan insurance is fickle. The first time I got some allergy pills, the pharmacist told me my plan only allowed for a month's refill. Today, the second time I went to pick up pills, she told me my plan allowed up to three month's refills at a time at the co-pay price of two months' refills.

Every time I have to do these grown-up things, a little voice in my head says my mommy should be doing them for me....

My right eye has been doing the twitchy thing. Or maybe it's just a kind of throbbing. Is it sleep deprivation? Dehydration? Too much caffeine?

Ha ha. Seriously, how much is a month's worth of Zyrtec? Luckily I do have a pretty good health insurance prescription plan, but it's still US$30/month.

Whoa. I can see why so many seniors load up on buses to come north of the border to purchase their medication. Those pharmaceutical companies are making a killing! In Canada, Zyrtec is branded Reactine since it's sold on the shelf-- it typically retails for around $16 bucks Canadian... so maybe $14 USD for a pack of 36. I wonder if border officials tariff the crap out of it if I were to mail it... of course, I could just label it as a generic "gift". :D

SERIOUSLY? Dude, I'm moving to Canada.

Lol, I'll hold you to that, especially if Bush strikes down the 2-term rule and declares him Emperor (which, given his track record with the constitution, doesn't seem that far-fetched). :D
