Subj : FWIW - Shingrex To : Nancy Backus From : Barry Martin Date : Sun Feb 09 2020 09:22:00 Hi Nancy! 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'. NB> Yes, I saw that... And just now, I searched through my whole NB> file, and didn't find anything for 'home' in my file either... NB> but now I've snagged yours... Oh, and in the process, I NB> escaped out before picking a tagline, so there wasn't anything NB> for the last message... I thought that last message looked a little empty! 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. NB> Good thing.... I think that that might be standard procedure at NB> my pharmacy... at least with just a little interest in the cost NB> by the customer... ;) Yes, I'm thinking the standard procedure would be to check the coverage and pricing before issuing the shot; medication one can refuse the transaction and so not pick up but with a shot the service has been rendered and so pretty much obligated to pay. ...Noticed some time back the Walgreens outdoor sign stated the flu shot was free by most insurances. 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. NB> I did check today in the store to see if Wegmans had that.... NB> couldn't find any battered in potato.... Generally the Gorton's NB> is a white fish like haddock... so definitely different fish as NB> well as different presentation from sushi.... :) yes. And a better description: "Potato Crunch". I wrote that down a I ate the last and want to get some more. Their web page plus picture of packaging: https://www.gortons.com/products/potato-crunch-fish-fillets/ I didn't see it on-line at the Wegman's site but then I've purchased items at Hy-Vee and didn't find on-line. ... Trade some coffee- flavoured M&Ms for the fish! (There seems to be a flaw in there some where! ) BM> ... Accountant to a fisherman: "So what's your net worth?" NB> Fisherman: "My livelihood"... ;) Does he work for scale?! ¯ ® ¯ Barry_Martin_3@ ® ¯ @Q.COM ® ¯ ® .... Lacking fins or tail the gefilte fish swims with great difficulty. --- MultiMail/Win32 v0.47 þ wcECHO 4.2 ÷ ILink: The Safe BBS þ Bettendorf, IA --- QScan/PCB v1.20a / 01-0462 * Origin: ILink: CFBBS | cfbbs.no-ip.com | 856-933-7096 (454:1/1) .
