This n That

For many years, I never took any drugs of any kind for any reason.   Then I went to the doctor and now I take four different pills every day and have a cream, a lotion and a shampoo for this skin crap and special toothpaste.  I am the online pharmacy's bitch.

And I've been really happy about it until recently.  They are turning on me in a big way and I'm getting tired of fucking with them.  If they weren't so damn convenient, I would have dumped them by now.

• They keep filling the toothpaste prescription incorrectly.  It used to cost me $3 when they fucked up and now it cost me $6.50 and I'm just tired of it.
• A year ago, I told them I never ever ever wanted to be called by their automated phone system.  EVER.  And I wasn't.  Until this week.  Twice.  And, since my account is marked as do not call, they can't stop the automated phoning.
• They fucked up my last four prescriptions.
• Since I am now having to call them every freakin' day about some problem or another, I'm learning that only one out of 10 of their customer service people has any brain cells whatsoever.  I hate Service Center Russian Roulette. 

I got a Capital One ATM card a while back and I just realized that I have no clue what the pin number is.  Probably I should figure that out before I actually need it. 

I have at least three more things to ramble about but I've forgotten them and my 'you've got a bug in your queue' alarm just sounded.  Better go polish that off before I find some lunch.

Have you looked at Costco or Costco.com for your prescriptions? The pharmacy tech at my place of employement recently told me that they have much better prices and boy was she right. One of the prescriptions I get cost me $10.95 for 30 every 30 days and at Costco it's $10 for 100 pills. More than half my families presciptions are this way and that's a cash price. Not only do I save tons of money, I also don't have to touch my insurance nearly as much. Just something to look into....

GREAT suggestion! If I can't get this drugs-by-mail thing worked out, I'll absolutely look into Costco. This drugs-by-mail does have excellent prices and free shipping but if they are going to annoy me so much I need more blood pressure medication, then it's really not worth it... those are my current thots anyway...
