I can definitely understand and appreciate that ~ since 2005 I have not been insured ~ I wait until the last second too to go to the dr. All my life I have always been insured and I took it for granted but now.... everything comes directly out of my pocket.

I know..its rough.
Our Dr wrote both of us Ranitidine scripts several months ago. WalMart has them on their $4 list and Kmart price matches it. At Rite Aid the same script was $57. You can get the same freakin thing at Sams for like $8 for 120 pills. Rite Aid was outrageous.


I very much appreciate you guys concern. I always have to watch anything throat related because I still have my tonsils and they should have been taken out when I was a kid. I catch anything throat realated easy. Dear old Mom and Dad were alcholics and their kids were not a priority.

Again we have very much in common, jglass, my parents were the same exact way. I do NOT drink because of it, never go to bars, clubs or any place where alcohol is the main focus ~ the memories are terrible. My mother never took us to a regular doctor, she would take us to the emergency room and that would be because a teacher (which was most of the time) demanded she do something. The ironic part is: my parents were quite wealthy and we HAD health insurance ~ it's not that she didn't care, it's just that the alcohol took over her common sense and sense of reality. I always get anything ear related ~ why, don't know ~ currently I have had an on-going ears (both ears) infection since April of this year. My doctor is having a hard time trying to get rid of the infections

Im so sorry to hear you have been fighting an ear infection. I hope you feel better soon.
My Mom was like two different people. When she drank which was most of the time she didnt care about anything. She loved to fight with anyone who would listen and was a plain old mean drunk. My husband has a friend who is an alcholic and I always tell Jon I dont know how to take him. All I ever knew were mean drunks and where ever this guy drinks he calls to tell you how much he loves you lol. When Mom was sober...which was if one of her brother or sisters were coming to town she acted like she was all prim and proper. It was so pathetic.
My Dad was retired disabled. They got enough money for us to live but it all went for booze. Around here we have boot leggers and my Dad knew them all. When he ran out of $$ they gave him credit so they could stay wasted all month. Both died a young death at 59 from their hard living. He had cancer but an anurism on the wall of his stomach burst and he had a heart attack and killed him at 59 and she got cervical cancer and died at 59. They both smoked those non filtered camel cigarettes and drank like fish.
Everytime my hubby complains about gaining weight because Im always cooking I tell him he is just gonna have to suffer while I get my Betty Crocker on ;) We were lucky if there was anything to eat in our house when we were kids.
I dont think my father in law knows how much I appreciate him. He is a wonderful guy. I always tease him that I finally have a good Dad..even if he cant cook.
