I am ticked off at the “rocket scientist” who designed the new twist-off cap for the Listerine bottle. A Rubik’s Cube is easier to twist. I want clean breath, not carpal tunnel syndrome.
Why do Big Pharma’s TV ads urge us to “ask (our) doctor” if their advertised, wildly overpriced med is right for us? News flash: Your doctor already knows and likely will prescribe a much more affordable generic if available, no matter how wonderful the commercial’s actors make their brand name-medicated lives look.
I’m ticked off that at 70 years of age, I have to go to downtown Orlando to get a card that says senior to get the senior discount on LYNX.
We now have many hardworking people who are struggling to make ends meet with a government shutdown occurring and not being paid. Yet, our legislative branch (Senate and House) still receive their paychecks. For what? What are they doing to continue to be paid? NOTHING. How about no work, no pay? Instead of acting like little brats, put your big-boy pants and big-girl skirts and dresses on, act like adults and sit down and do a novel thing called negotiate on behalf of the American people.
The flip side
To all the healthcare staff at the Jewett Orthopedic Institute — especially Raquel, Val, and Oliver — thank you!
Thank you to Jamie, who was working in the produce section at the Andover Lakes Publix on east Curry Ford Road. She directed me to the blueberries and was very busy answering a lot of people’s questions while stocking the shelves. She was so helpful and has a great smile.
