Im venting so don't pay any attention.

Bought gas in Longview for 3.46 this morning. Going into Marshall 2 hours later it's 3.71. That's one pissed off gripe.

I'm going to town because my clothes washer broke. Right at the beginning of the spin cycle. I have a load of wet soapy clothes.
That's the Why me? rant.

Whinny gripe is the hot water hose is corroded to the plastic pipe on the cheap [censored] trailer trash faucet. So I got a brand new washer and only wash in cold water.

There goes my the rest of my rebate check. First couple hundred went for some extra groceries and gas.

Was saving the rest to go to the clinic to get diabetes and high blood pressure meds renewed. 3 prescriptions cost a whopping $12 at Walmart on the $4 list. But, the damn clinic has to have office visit fee $75, take blood pressure $20, blood glucose test (take it almost every day and keep detailed record) $45, and, unless I can talk them out of it, a blood test, $165. That comes to $305, about what I paid for the washer. That makes my meds cost average of $113.50 a month.

OK, gonna stop now before I drive my blood pressure up any more.

PS. No I don't have health insurance.

On the bright side, you got a rebate check. Many of us did not.

Grandpa....look on the bright side. You were never, to my knowledge, married to Sheryl Owens. That should cheer you up substantially.

Do what I did about 2 years ago. I quit going to see the doctors. I quit taking any medicines, to include pain pills and even vitamins. I'm saving money and I'm still above ground.

What really pisses me off is that all my life whenever I got a little bit of money ahead that wasn't already spent something unexpected always happens to take it away.

I start getting a little early retirement social security check pretty soon but instead of it being extra money it will be eating up by gas, groceries, increased rent, increased utility bill. The way they are stacking the cards you just can't win.

If she was married to Pilotsparrow, she's probably in some intensive therapy that will take years.

Grandpa...

this may help ease the pain a little bit.

WalMart Press Release

Quote:
Expected to save Wal-Mart customers millions annually, today’s announcement is phase three of Wal-Mart’s $4 Prescription Program, which now covers a 90-day prescription for $10, additional women’s health medications and a new $4 over-the-counter (OTC) offer. The 90-day option gives more choices to customers and physicians who may have been limited to mail order prescriptions in the past.

Your vote should reflect your frustration with the current system. I don't know if it will be better for me, but it could not be worse for you. Pilotparrot and the other regurgicans vote out of selfishness.

Nice Mark, a new low for stupid post. Selfishness?

Again, I am a conservative, not a republican. I understand that some folks are slow, but you can understand this if I type slowly can you not?

And I am an independent that leans to the left, yet you call me a socialist. You might check your posts on that one.

You are a socialist. You want more government, more government control, and higher taxes. A government that take half already and waste a healthy chunk of that and yet you seem to want to send them more.

Here Mr Not Selfish.....you may send all the additional money you wish to the government. I will bet you send not one penny more than you had to. That is so typical of the liberal. Whine about others, while doing worse themselves. Go ahead, send them 75% of your income. That would be the non-selfish thing to do.
