    Carolyn i would guess every state has a different program. find something close by. we just lost a whole lot of pharmacies here due to the loss of Rite Aid. I need to look for a place myself. it's like finding a store that accepts full sharps containers. not everyone. ETA I looked up...

    Diane sue you had mentioned a few posts ago about getting rid of old medications. i dont know if all states have this service, but in WA we have a 'take-back program '. i think its usually pharmacies. they accept unused or outdated meds. its not good to flush or send to the landfill...

    we did our park walk yesterday along with therapy. unfortunately the hip issue is not gone. it developed within a few hours of the barre workout, not gradually over a long time, so think bursitis but it interferes with going uphill. im going to try to work around it and not...

    i had an odd issue from that barre work yesterday. one spot in one hip feels a burning coal. not muscle but something very unhappy. . its gotten better as the day went on so i skipped any cardio and did all therapy work and stacked upper body. i must have tweaked something that...

    I did a 30 min spin yesterday along with most therapy work. the one move i thought was most effective seems to be causing neck issues. big ones. i stopped doing it for 3 days and the discomfort has gone away but it was very unpleasant. i had increased the frequency to twice a...

    Cathy it went well because we were NOT the first people driving up Homestake pass! the wrecks already happened. lots of flashing red and blue lights and MSP vehicles. everyone instantly slowed down and all went ok. the problems were downhill side of the pass with a semi jackknifed...

    trip went well yesterday though the first mountain pass was black ice and crashes everywhere. must have surprised the DOT too but it was the only spot there was a problem. we met up and picked up our friends dog in Missoula and continued on without missing a beat.. 11.5 hours of pure...

    It is just bat shit crazy what kinds of hoops we jump through just to get proper medications reliably. in so many ways, we behave like some third world country. my eyedrops i use daily are made in canada but so far it i still best to buy the thru canada. still cheaper than the generic made...

    my DH always checks thru the formularies for part D to see what drugs are included as it can change yearly. thi is mainly for meds that get used every day, not one time things. he uses a lot of BP meds. its an unpleasant process. im not good enough at drug names to do that. no question...

    to give you an idea, it costs $$400 to get an appliance delivered, installed and the old unit hauled away. for someone to come out and fix something, requires at least 2 trips. ordering a DW part is a long process too. we cant run to an appliance store and get the part! on our last visit...

    DW install went fine. new one is nice, not all that different but quieter. would not have switched except for the possibility of a bad water leak like Cathy mentioned. this would probably not have been that crazy but water in places it should not be is never good. the camera needs...

    a decent drive yesterday although its still almost 11 hours . no way to be happy about that part. raining off and on most of the way but that actually less difficult than bright sunshine. today we get the new DW installed. i feel guilty about not trying to fix this one but its about 7...

    We did a harder hike yesterday with friends, 2.5 hours. my back was not happy at the end but it did get better after doing my exercises. we went out for lunch too so took a while to get home and on the floor. Cathy it used to be so service oriented, now we must do everything on our...

    it used to be easy to get air and oil checks. alas, not anymore. we have discount tire, we have Les Schwab, no Midas here. most gas stations don't have an air hose, free or pay, and many times they dont work right. we have a separate gauge. one of those that pop up ones to show air...
