Drugs

You know you have reached old age status when you are on a first name basis with the local pharmacy's cashier. Five pills were added to my collection this past week as a byproduct of a new hip I received. One pill to help with swelling, one for bleeding, one for blood clot prevention, one to help poop and one for pain. This added to my current pill to help me from having to pee eight times a night and we have quite a collection. I'm still amazed that each pill knows exactly what to do. I'm also amazed at how many stupid drug commercials and drug names are out there. I had to experience a wealth of them this week while laid up.  Who are the wackos coming up with these names?

Just a game for some, others?

While watching the Michigan State game last weekend, a line of thunderstorms rolled through Michigan, resulting in some warnings in the area; one of which had a suspected tornado in the middle of the state (but was never confirmed). Rather than have the warning text run across the bottom of the screen like most stations do, the local network cut entirely from the game for about 20 minutes. The weather guy even brazenly said the network would not cut back to the game until the warning expired. A minor nuisance for me as I pulled out my laptop and watched it on there but others were not so forgiving and took to the Internet to let the local station know their feelings.

Vinnie does not look happy.
