Lots of us use cast iron too for at least some of our cookery.

i've loved rye bread my entire life. i love good
rye whisky too. Crown Royal is my goto.

Me too!  I make several types but generally lighter white ryes as they
match overall best to other uses.

After we both get jabs. Pnuemonia (1st) for her, TDAP (tetanus,
diptheria, whooping cough) for me. Docs orders.

  

Whooping cough?  Are you around many babies?

 

i need a tetanus shot. CVS app lists both tetanus plus diphtheria,
and tetanus plus diphtheria plus whooping cough. i decided to wait
and ask my doc. had a regular checkup this week, she said the
tetanus, diphtheria, and whooping cough one, TDAP, so that's the
one i'm getting.

 

Okay, I'm not trying to argue with you.  Just seems a simple
tetanus shot should be available without combining those other
things.  But hey, in my area CVS is one of the most expensive
pharmacies there is so why not combine the shot and charge
[possible insurance company] more.

It is Jill.  He's opting for the combined jab after talking with his
Doctor.

my insurance covers the shots. i'd still go to the localy owned
pharmacy if it still existed. my wife worked at walmart
pharmacy as a tech until a new pharmacist that hated everyone
set her up for a HIPAA violation which got her fired so we won't
be going there again. there are Rite Aids in town and i forgot why
they lost my business, i simply never go there for anything. Tops
Friendly Markets grocery has a pharmacy. on principle, just nope.
Target has one. used to be CVS don't know if it still is. was
nice going there because our Target is really slow, by that i
mean very few customers, and getting in and out is always quick.
stopped going there because a new pharmacist was being a
dickhead. as in questioning why the doctors were prescribing a
particular medicine kind of dickhead. so what's left is the CVS
that's a 3 minute drive from my house and that's why we go there.
my maintence meds are mail order by express scripts, which is part
of my medical insurance company through work. if you ever want to
read an angry, profanity filled rant, just ask me what i think
about that and i just might oblige. :)

I dislike Express Scripts too but that's the one the Military opted to
use for all active and retired vets.  I don't use them for the cheaper
meds as their minimum charge is too high.  CVS is 1.27 for my BP meds.
Express Scripts has a minimum of something like 9$.

The worst part of Express Scripts is the dammed never ending ad for
their incredibly unworkable web site.
