I always wonder how many others read investment articles and see "valued at" and "after acquiring funding of" and do the math of "does not equal revenue". If you scratch your head and wonder, how did they go out of business? LOL

Anyone else eat Taco Bell like someone who's hiding a drug addiction? Wolfed down on a side street, hiding in the front seat of their car? No- just me? Just keep walking, sidewalk boy...

Reading the news and my thoughts: “Who the F cares about an f’n Rockefeller Xmas tree? My kids can’t afford housing, groceries and healthcare.” The United States is so screwed up.

I just left CVS Pharmacy after four weeks failing to refill on a prescription. Text message said I could pick up my last prescription from them only to be told they put it back since I was transferring my prescriptions elsewhere. Why are so many support systems/software broken?? #CVS

I don’t understand why we call people that appear weak- “pansies”. Have you seen pansy flowers? They f’n blooming in harsh winter like it’s the serene month of June. Anyone calls you a pansy, wear like a badge of honor.

When your pharmacy says, "Oh, well I can see the medications and I can refill them." but you can't, then you ask to remove ones you've never or can't get insurance to approve, so got others and they say, "Well, we can't, that's part of your history." but... I can't see the ones I do take. sigh.
