Mail-Order Pharmacy

I'm experimenting with "tags" and Windows Photo Gallery Live. I tagged a bunch of "quilt" photos. I still didn't get "the hang of it."

My friend, Dennis, posted a nice photo of himself that he modified using Adobe Photoshop. I know very little about this application.

Yesterday I made post 1,900 to my Arrow Prayers blog.

My mail order pharmacy refused to refill a prescription which I thought still had one 90-day refill. They said I'd reached the year "cut-off" date. Then my doctor didn't respond to the pharmacy request for a refill prescription. Finally, I got involved. I called the pharmacy twice and the doctor's office once in an attempt to resolve the matter in my favor. I'm making a trip to the local pharmacy this morning to see if I can pick up a 14-day supply of the medication to carry me over. This incident brings back not so fond memories of a previous time when Melva ran out of a daily medication many years ago. Mail order is fine, when it works. When it breaks it's a pain in the neck.
