    what is the pharmacy hinting?

    At the pharmacy I work at we verify the price with the patient before we order it in. 1st so we don’t have an expensive med that the patient didn’t want sitting on our shelf. That costs money. 2nd is in case they don’t want it when they are at the register. Best to refuse it at the point of...

    What new series are you watching? *No Spoilers, Please*

    I can’t wait till they come up with a service that has all these streaming providers and channels with one company where you can pay a monthly fee to get them all or a select few that you want. They might even use a box or something to help facilitate this into your house :facepalm:

    What new series are you watching? *No Spoilers, Please*

    is it the battery or the starter?

    I haven't read all the replies, but my trusted mechanic claims that he has never seen a starter die from old age on a Toyota or Honda. We had our 2002 Toyota sequoia die in the driveway a couple of times over the years and after failing to jump or recharge the battery we had it towed to the...

    Almost free cash

    I don't see how the monthly payment could come close to $572.92 for $250k home equity line. An interest only HELOC for 10 years is closer to $750. So if you add principle in there you are going to be well over the $1040 you can generate in divvy's. If it were that easy everyone would do it...

    We've hit our number, problem is the budget doesn't fit in it

    I don't think I would qualify for this since I wouldn't be leaving my job just going to part time, while it is still possible to do, the employers 401(k) has to offer it as one of their 'rules' and I had looked into mine and they don't :(

    Using a Heloc as a downpayment on a new home

    I had a plan of getting a loan from the local credit union to build on a lot we have purchased then once that was complete - move into said new home and sell current home. Then using the proceeds to pay off mortgage on previous home and hopefully if there is enough equity the new home, if not...

    We've hit our number, problem is the budget doesn't fit in it

    Hello everyone, Been awhile since I posted but I wanted to get some comments/insight on the current situation. Original plan: Drop down to PT work at 55YO where there is less stress and job demand yet still an excellent salary and most importantly benefits. Throwing out fictional round...

    Robo Floor Cleaners

    DW keeps saying we should get one of these Roomba's but I can't comprehend it doing a good job on carpet? We don't have shag carpet by any means but it isn't berber either. I guess it works decent on in-between those two carpet types? Just watching the commercials and the flimsy looking...

    Vaccine Trials

    The information I have been given so far (which changes almost daily with such a fluid topic) is that the FDA isn't meeting to make the emergency use authorization for the vaccine(s) until 12/10/20 so the soonest a vaccination can be given will be 12/11/20. Why they don't move the time up? Who...

    Sad Day for Boy Scouts.

    The LDS church may not have liked girls being involved in the BOY Scouts of America but the real issue with them pulling their support (money) was allowing openly gay scouts to join and allowing openly gay adult leaders. Washington Post Article "Not that there's anything wrong with that."...

    GoodRX question

    Here is a decent article about how discount cards work and what you are giving away when you use them: Are discount cards too good to be true? It goes into a bit of detail on the ins and outs of companies like goodrx and the old adage that there is no such thing as a free lunch. Someone is...

    Did the flu shot in 2019 make you sick?

    The adverse effects of the Shingrix shot commonly include flu like systems, i.e. chills, fever, muscle aches, lethargy, headache, etc. IF you get those adverse reactions, they usually only last a day or so. They could come with the first shot, or the second, or with neither or with both shots...

    Purdue Pharma going bankrupt

    ^ This also come into play when the pharmacy (corporate) is afraid to go up against the DEA. Or has to follow guidelines from the DEA who will have a different interpretation of the law on their books depending on which person you talk to on which day. When our corporate office reads in the...

    How much laundry detergent?

    I use pods, either kirkland, tide or I just purchased some Persil to see if it really was better. Personally can't tell a whole lot of difference between all 3, but I use 1 pod for regular to small loads and I'll use 2 pods for completely full loads in the LG front loader (like 10 bath towels I...

    Best Space / Interstellar / Galactic flick?

    Second vote for 'The Expanse' So glad Amazon saved the series, watched the first few seasons on SYFY then it got cancelled and now picked up by Amazon for the next season to start in 12/19. Loved Babylon 5 too!

    Parents resent our FIRE plan

    There is a point where you need to help out an aging parent with finances. My mother just text me this last weekend: "I'm sweating because I don't want the electric bill to go higher" (our temps are currently in the low 90's) My reply: "Turn on the A/C. Your comfort is worth more than...

    What is going on with prescription drug costs?

    Exactly, we can't even guarantee that we are getting good medications from our own FDA. If you believed in a conspiracy, maybe the Chinese were intentionally contaminating the active ingredient to kill off the US population??? Walmart's $4 list was and is a loss leader, just to get you in the...

    The value of LBYM

    ^ This is a moral issue to me. Or lack thereof. Some people feel the need (or at least don't feel any guilt) to let others pay (via go fund me, etc.) for their bills when it isn't fun for them or if it will cut into their fun time/vacation(s) that they deserve/stuff that they want even when...
