OK, so I take ADHD meds and usually have them filled at Walgreens. It was out of stock and backordered there, so I called around. HEB Pharmacy also had it backordered, but thankfully a small local pharmacy had it in stock, and my doctor was able to send the prescription there. When I picked it up today, it was $18 with my insurance. At Walgreens, this same medication would cost $81 with the same insurance. Granted, I usually use GoodRx in the latter instance, but with the GoodRx coupon it's roughly $34 at Walgreens. It's the same generic, same dosage, same insurance; everything is the same.

Now, to be clear, I'm not complaining. My meds would cost A LOT more without the insurance and I don't make a ton of money, so being able to save money is a plus. If I'm gonna be mad at anyone, it's at the big pharmaceutical companies that make these prices rather than Walgreens or the small local pharmacy. I'm just confused about the price differences. Thanks!

Stupid firemen.

I eat corn for breakfast, for example. It's a little weird, sure, but it just feels right for some reason.

Im going to laser you with my alien fucking eyes. I am going to skin you alive and boil you skin cells. I would rather wipe my ass with sandpaper than rewatch this fucking movie. I would rather shove a full cucumber up my asshole than see this in theaters. this movie was worse than gooning with fucking lemon juice. I am going to poor bleach in my eye. I am going to spoon my fucking eardrums out. I disliked this movie.

The doctor in the middle seat says, "You know what, I'd really like a coke."

The lawyer says, "I'll get it for you." He gets up and while he's gone, the middle doctor picks up one of the lawyer's shoes and spits in it.

When the lawyer returns, the doctor in the window seat says, "You know what? I'd like a coke too." The lawyer obliges and gets up, during which time the doctor in the window seat spits in the lawyer's other shoe.

When the plane lands, the lawyer puts his shoes on, immediately realizes what happens, and says, "Why must this animosity continue between ou professions? This spitting in shoes and pissing in cokes?"

"Will the defendant please rise?"
