Subj : Re: FWIW - Shingrex To : Barry Martin From : Nancy Backus Date : Sun Feb 09 2020 02:34:26 -=> Quoting Barry Martin to Nancy Backus on 05-Feb-2020 08:39 <=- BM>> (If you read these in sequence, no, I didn't find the tagline about BM>> the kids selecting the retirement home.) NB>> I do... and I didn't find one in my file, either... ;) BM> I did find something for the previous message; had originally used BM> 'retire' as the search term, then tried 'home'. Yes, I saw that... And just now, I searched through my whole file, and didn't find anything for 'home' in my file either... but now I've snagged yours... Oh, and in the process, I escaped out before picking a tagline, so there wasn't anything for the last message... BM>> Ouch on the co-pay! Sort of reminds me of years ago my medical doctor BM>> recommended a shot of some sort. Go to the pharmacy in the store BM>> (which was owned by the same company I worked for) - pharmacist checked BM>> and our insurance would only cover if the doctor's office gave the BM>> shot. ... Phoned the doctor for an appointment (really the nurse) -- BM>> they had to order the vaccine/whatever it was from the affiliated BM>> hospital and would take three days; the pharmacy had in stock and BM>> could have given then. NB>> Yup... I remember you mentioning that once... Some shots, the doctor's NB>> office has to charge more for than the pharmacy does... one just has NB>> to ask and stay alert.... ;) BM> Fortunately the pharmacist had checked ahead of time on the payments. Good thing.... I think that that might be standard procedure at my pharmacy... at least with just a little interest in the cost by the customer... ;) NB>>> Interesting.... I suppose that there might be some sort of hierarchy NB>>> as to where the supplies go first.... and/or there might have been a NB>>> waiting list for the pharmacies requesting the supplies.... BM>> All possibilities. Could do all sorts of fun guessing but that's all BM>> it would be: guesses. Still boils down to Wegman's has it and Hy-Vee BM>> doesn't. There are probably some local pharmacies with Shingrex in BM>> stock: when I inquire get the apologetic 'not yet' with the semi side BM>> note other places may have if you're in a rush to get it. In my BM>> specific case I'm not in a rush and so no need to go shopping for it. NB>> True... And with no rush, might as well just wait and be patient... ;) BM> True, plus there might be advantages to waiting: let others be the BM> guinea pigs to see if there are any reactions to the vaccine -- other BM> than common ones like "injection site irritation" and "if you are BM> allergic to any of the ingrediants". There is that... :) NB>>> ... ù ><> øú<>< ><>.úø It's fish! BM>> Yummy! S.N.: if you like fish Gorton's has some battered in potato BM>> (!) -- light taste of hash browns! I think tasty. :) NB>> I might check that out... I don't buy much fish to cook at home NB>> anymore, now that we have sushi so often at Fu's... :) But once in NB>> a while I get the urge... ;) BM> Plus it's a different fish from sushi. Probably a different fish but BM> I'm talking presentation. I did check today in the store to see if Wegmans had that.... couldn't find any battered in potato.... Generally the Gorton's is a white fish like haddock... so definitely different fish as well as different presentation from sushi.... :) BM> ... Accountant to a fisherman: "So what's your net worth?" Fisherman: "My livelihood"... ;) ttyl neb .... I didn't say it was your fault; I said I was blaming you. --- EzyBlueWave V3.00 01FB001F * Origin: Tiny's BBS - http://www.tinysbbs.com (454:1/452) .
