I appreciate being able to vent about the jerk at work. The advice is sound as well. Thank you for your voices. They accompany me to work, really.There has been some overtime and this helped me stay busy and unaccessable for chit/chat and interaction with "him." I have decided to see HR if he says one more out of context word to me.  Period.One really nice thing about this job is having a little more money to fix the car, buy some hay, get the bills caught up. I am not rolling in dough but there is some to take care of things. First time in a long time. I will be seeing my DR soon too to change one more prescription to the "genaric" list. They are 4 bucks per month , each script. I have no insurance but too much money for the assistance relief in my area. Imagine that. Still, 6 meds a day at 80 bucks each oer month was rediculous. So, I brought the list of cheaper stuff to one of my appointments and asked for the switch. She did not like it and said that only if my body tolerated the changes would she continue. That some of the higher priced meds were preferred. OK. But a person doesn't need to die trying to pay for them either. Smile.Today is a day to rest and have some fun. I plan to brush the horses, hang out with the beautiful landscape, and putz around doing some outdoor cleanup before colder weather comes along. At this point, it is warm but it can change over night this time of year.Hope everyone is having a nice Autumn thus far??Cheers~

Sure hope no doctors are reading this, haha. But ... not everyone knows everything. Do a little searching, not only on the net but you might find that the drugs are the same and you do save money on the alternative. Don\'t take anyone\'s word for it, not even the doctor. I think, if they really care about YOUR health they would welcome some dialog from you.
As for cost, expenses and qualifying sigh! It all make no sense. There are too many \'cooks in the kitchen\' and they are making a mess of the health care system, IMO. Sorry we all have to \'pay\' for that. Something has to be done.
I\'ve heard that petting a dog is relaxing and lowers blood pressure or something like that. SO, I imagine a horse, who is much bigger, should reduce A LOT of stress.
Have fun.

Hey, well its is TRUE some generics don\'t work as well!! But many do fine. On the othr hand private Insurance keeps bumping us onto generic stuff if we like it or not!(what they will cover). Hasd aproblem with one of my headache med. they recently discontinued the generics, but still make the brand name. Took research on my part! Had to go back n forth to 3 drugstores,(one 30 mins away!) only one finally was only able to fill 1/4 of my script! I have to my get dr to write only reg, NO generic on this and then find out a pharmacy who has it in stock!! geeez!!!Its crazy how we have to jump thru hoops now!! Anyway, Thats my rant! Have a good week!! hugs, Jess
