Get it with the CheeseWiz and...Jim's Cheesesteaks. Get it with the CheeseWiz and to hell with ClinkShrink and her heart happy thoughts. Today's NYTimes has an article on how we're all getting bigger and lifespans and health are improving. Add fried onions. <BR/><BR/>The Cuban place, I'll get you the name when I can, was not takeout, didn't have outdoor seating, and wasn't in grad student budget range (ah, out of town conventioneers are big money spenders). Maybe 3 years ago? <BR/><BR/>I was at Penn for college, visited boyfriend a lot the following year (now husband/doggy mind reader), and he recently started working in philly again, but mostly his lunches seem to be The Capital Grille and a lot of Amtrak stories. I think most of the restaurants have changed...back then I went to Smokey Joes, Doc Watson's, knew the pizza places and cheesesteaks, and I hear Ho So Gai is still there (try the peking beef) in Chinatown. Oh, there was some incredibly crowded deli (2hr wait) in west philly, a takeout with amazing chocolate cheesecake--Sorry Clink(-- in case you haven't figured it out, I do not suffer from migraines or food sensitivities). . Please note, Clink has lost a lot of weight recently and she is no longer quite so fun to be with, except that she did drag me off on a Segway.Dinahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227988351623862689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-1154275867518430182006-07-30T12:11:00.000-04:002006-07-30T12:11:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.NeoNurseChichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16120931307124798416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-1154269921893832592006-07-30T10:32:00.000-04:002006-07-30T10:32:00.000-04:00Just like Mr Burke's number is listed in the book,...Just like Mr Burke's number is listed in the book, it prob'ly wouldn't be all that hard to find numbers for the DEA or FBI.

It's a chocolate-delivery system for calcium for women, although I'm sure it wouldn't hurt men, lol. Especially good for lactose-intolerant people like me.<BR/><BR/>I am so glad that Wyeth and Pfizer have been sending me my 300mg Effexor/day and my 1200mg Neurontin/day prescriptions, a three month supply at a time, for free. Course, we're rather poor, but a couple thou above what it'd qualify for Medicaid.<BR/><BR/>And then there's my SSDI & SSI application/appeal going into its third year now (although at the point I'm at, and with having a lawyer, 90% of the people at this point get approved).<BR/><BR/>The Effexor being about $200 a month, if I had to pay, and the Neurontin, oh, I forget but $100 or more at least.<BR/><BR/>Course, I'm about to run out of Neurontin, because the doc had me up for a month or two on 1600, so I've used it up too fast . . . and he's not in, mornings, so I'll be cutting it real close, down to the last pill, before he's in on Mon/Tues for me to pick up a prescription, that don't know how to pay for. I don't think you are s'posed to quit gabapenting cold turkey. Technically, we just got insurance this week but I have NO information on it yet.<BR/><BR/>Sorry to ramble! 8 calls a day, YIKE! You can set up something with your phone company to have specific phone numbers blocked from being able to get through to you . . . do a *69 to find out what the number is right after they call you.Sarebearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208596053319110470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-1154198679343922982006-07-29T14:44:00.000-04:002006-07-29T14:44:00.000-04:00What a nightmare, Carrie.

Whenever folks have disputes like this, make noise at the Insurance Commissioner's office, and let the insurance company know you are doing so. You have to be a squeaky wheel.<BR/><BR/>On a different note, I'm waiting for Clink or Foo to write something on Ms. Yates.

They have your phone number, but Mr. Burke's credit card. The way I figure it, when they call, place an order for oh, say, a 90 day supply of something good (my drug of choice is chocolate but maybe we could get Roy some Concerta? that stuff is expensive). When Fedex calls, get the box, it gets billed to Mr. Burke, Roy goes in overdrive, his dirty socks get picked up, his wife loves the blog. What could be better. If they make chocolate in a pill form, please order me some.Dinahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227988351623862689noreply@blogger.com
