For about a year now, I’ve been getting my NapraPAC (a combination of 1000 mg of generic Aleve and a Prevacid pill a day) for free. (Hey, prescription drug manufacturers: If you push your pills with giant stacks of coupons for the doctors you harass, they’ll turn around and give a big stack of them to patients.)
Today, at long last, I had to pay for the pills and I had been dreading the day, not knowing how much of a bite my insurance would take out of the three-figure bill for the 28 days of pills.
I had to pay $15. Score one for medical insurance.
Congratulations on your latest in a string of 29th birthdays!
It’s true: Apple explicitly tells iPod owners not to eat their iPod Shuffles. (This suggests that, perhaps, other models are delicious candy, but I have not personally tested out this theory.)
To illustrate the inherent dangers of consuming an MP3 player, erasing.org has posted a poem entitled “I Ate iPod Shuffle.”
Yummy.
We got them last November, but Hanna and Lucky were born a year ago today.
They’ve grown a lot since they were known as Raven and Bubbles by the family that owns their mother (and Lucky has come out of the closet as a boy cat), although Lucky has grown more than Hanna. Hanna still has a kittenish body (and acts kittenish more often than Lucky) while Lucky is big and strong enough to beat up neighborhood dogs if he wasn’t a big cowardly wuss.
Naturally, someone set them up with new cat toys, although my idea of buying them both a bunch of white mice was overruled.
If, for some reason, you don’t get the Today’s Top Tune podcast from KCRW, make sure and sign up quickly, before “1000 Tears of a Tarantula” by Dengue Fever is no longer available for free.
I know, I know, you already have a bunch of surf rock by Cambodian rock bands, but this song is so damn cool …
