    CVS buying Target's pharmacies for $2 billion

    Oh, no. CVS is a very tough company to work with pharmacy wise. They've been sued for discrimination against people who are older or disabled. They are having a ton of medication errors because they are cutting tech hours and demanding a certain amount of prescriptions filled a day. They are...

    Spokane NAACP President; white or black?

    Anyone can put whatever race they want on a birth certificate. That's why someone who is half white and half black can put black down or can put white, someone who has a baby that comes from two Mexican parents can put white, etc. There's no law that says you have to put down what other people...

    Spokane NAACP President; white or black?

    For her application to grad school at Howard, I believe she presented her work as through the experience of a black man. Which being white, she doesn't have the experience of being black and never will, no matter how much shes involved in the black community. Based on her work Howard assumed...

    When is it ok to meet someone you met online?

    I think it's better to meet people from online sooner rather than later. People can present themselves in a way online that they don't in person. It doesn't even have to be intentional that they do that. People also imagine someone to be something they are not and their expectations can be...

    Richard Matt And David Sweat, Convicted Murderers, Escape From New York Prison

    hoichi, I agree that murder alone is not evil. whatdidyousay, the reason they don't have cameras on every single prisoner every single second of the day is that it's impossible to do that. They would have to have one person watching that prisoner. They'd need at least two people a day per...

    Woman seriously hurt by shard from broken bat

    I read that someone (either a player or a worker there) said that the park had really inadequate netting and everyone who sits where she did is at really high risk for injuries. There are a couple other spots that are also high risk at that park.

    'Night Stalker' Richard Ramirez dies

    Actually a death certificate will say natural death if that is how they died. They list both cause of death (in this case, liver failure) and manner of death (natural here). The cause is what caused their death. The manner is a way to put the death in categories. It's usually something like...

    I hate when I can't find my hearing Aide!!

    I had a soft case for my HA that had some sort of metal around the opening. You squeezed it open and it stayed open, then shut it and it stayed shut. I could easily stuff the case in my pocket as it was smaller than a wallet. It was made out of some heavy duty fake leather so it was protected...

    Married couple of 59 years welcomes 100th grandchild

    My spouse's grandparents never bought gifts other than for the first Christmas/birthday. There was no way they could. Instead they make the first Christmas special and every single family member buys something. After that the family just does a grab bag of names, and that way people only have...

    Parents house

    Prettyerica, wallpapers are extremely popular right now. More so just on one wall and the others painted, though I've seen some nice paper on all walls. Regardless, he took down that nasty wallpaper. I think that stuff was ugly the day it was put on. I agree with whoever said to put...

    Opossums: The Unsung Heroes Against Lyme Disease And Other Tick-Borne Diseases

    It's not just the warmer weather alone. For instance, a lot of animal populations have increased and part of that is from having a more mild winter that doesn't kill off animals. So even if last winter was cold, the winter prior to that wasn't like that. You have increased deer from the mild...

    Opossums: The Unsung Heroes Against Lyme Disease And Other Tick-Borne Diseases

    Tick populations are spiking because of warmer winters. It has to be below freezing and the ground needs to be either frozen or covered by snow to kill them. So even if it's freezing temperature, if the ground isn't frozen the ticks still live.

    Married couple of 59 years welcomes 100th grandchild

    They counted great grand kids and great great grand kids. If you do that, my spouse's grandparents have 100 of them too. It would be something if they really did have 100 grandkids. A guy I dated in college had that many cousins, he was grandchild number 51.

    May be trying Siemens Nitros soon

    Except that people who have damage to their auditory nerve can't use a CI. That's why I can't use one. Also, people who have relatively mild hearing loss are going to be suited well with hearing aids and getting a CI doesn't make sense for them.

    Josh Duggar resigns from Family Research Council after sexual abuse allegations

    No charges were filed because at the time, Arkansas had a three year limit after the molestation. If charges were not brought within three years, nothing can be done. Josh wasn't taken to the cops until he was 17 and he did this when he was 14.

    If you had the money would you open an Papa Johns?

    That's why Quiznos is failing. When you're a franchisee, you have to buy your food from only the places that the company allows and usually through the company itself. Quiznos overcharged for food and the stores couldn't make a profit. When sales fell the stores started closing. To get sales...
