Well I hope you call the doctor or have someone take you back to the hospital.

Sorry, I'm still on pain meds and shouldn't have posted until I get back to normal.

I filled my prescriptions from my hospital stay at Wags. I'm using GoodRx but Wags had better coupons than what I had and applied them for me. Wags saved me a lot of money and I was very happy with my pharmacy experience. Everybody always complains about pharmacies so it's good to say something when things go right.

World Market Christmas Clearance is now 75% off for 2 weeks, according to shelf tags. They still had quite a lot of stuff left.
They also had some very cute Valentine's items on the shelves. Some were 25%-30% off

On another note, Fetch had/has an offer on local restaurants, which I was not aware of. I scanned our receipt expecting 25 points and received 3,500. Check your offers.

I'm not finding anything good to stream. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm on Hulu and Paramount.

I watched some old episodes of ER yesterday. I looked up the 10 best episodes and started watching them. ER has a lot of flaws but when they got things right it was great tv. There was a two part episode where Weaver stabs Mark in the back to the board. I wanted to see if Mark would get his revenge but Hulu deleted the second part so I guess I'll never know...

When I was in the hospital, I watched a lot of animal shows. The one I really liked was where a bunch of college-aged kids would study everything from small monkeys to giant giraffes. There was an episode where they were trying to tranquilize a cheetah but the cheetah wasn't going for it. Does anybody know the name of the show? I'd like to keep on watching. The BBC shows were really good, too. One show studied 2 years in the life of a tiger and her 3 cubs. I never realized how tough it is to be a tiger especially when you're a female cub and you're being bullied by your brothers and they won't let you have any food.

If you ever get access to Netflix and you haven't already seen it, I highly recommend House of Guinness.

I really enjoyed the Murdoch Mysteries on Hulu for easy watching and there's lots of seasons.

I really like Murdoch Mysteries. It's on one of our lesser channels, so I try to catch a couple of episodes at a time. It's a fun look back in time & history. I don't have any subscription TV at this time.

I've heard that Murdoch is really good. At first, I thought it was about the guy who killed his wife.

I guess I never learned to be scared of steroids and I've definitely never heard of them shredding organs. Where I live, even after taking allergy shots for years, when I was working I had a sinus infection multiple times a year. While antibiotics were often necessary, steroids were usually my go to for feeling better faster.

I am happy to say that retirement has been very good for my health. I don't think I've had a steroid or antibiotic in the last 8 years.
Glad to hear retirement has been so good for your health.

I sometimes have to do prednisone. Its a wonderfully horrific drug. Performs miracles in terms of healing but I dont sleep on it, have hallucinations and roid rage is real...not a great combo. It can be harsh on organs.

For whatever I missed, I am sorry you are having a rough go of it.

Sounds perfectly normal to me.

Pharmacies have always been very helpful to me. Now, insurance companies...

My latest battle is that I am doing well enough that the doctors want to halve my meds, which is a fantastic thing. Youd think insurance would be thrilled and approve that right away. Nope, it was a three week battle. Got approved on 12/22. On 1/2 I get an email that they need a new prior auth. Then another a couple of hours later that my doctor isnt responding (not surprised, given the holiday. About an hour later I get another email that I am denied for coverage. I wanted to wait to deal with this until after my first round from the 12/22 approval was delivered because I was scared I would inadvertently mess that delivery up and fall behind on meds (have a small stockpile because I order as soon as possible because the insurance company has repeatedly asked for new PAs over the last two years when I had valid PAs in place...would have gone 45 days unmedicated if I werent so strict about stockpiling after they first started their nonsense) Anyway, late last week I reached out to my doctor to find out what was going on and they hadnt heard anything from insurance but called the pharmacy and asked them to run a test to make sure the RX would clear and it did. So today I got the joy of calling my insurance provider...only to have them not know what I was talking about at all. The last thing they can see is the approval on 12/22. I have the emails plus a physical letter on their letter head with all the appropriate info telling me my meds are denied but the insurance rep cant say why I got this letter and that I should just ignore it. At this point Im just hoping they are gas lighting me and that I will receive my meds at the beginning of Feb but I am not terribly hopeful based on past experiences.

What we do in the shadows (TV) (hulu) The older ones barely had commercials when we watched it.
Roofman (movie) paramount
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (I think its at hulu now) You have to get through the first season and there are a few really rough episodes in that first season but it gets so very great.
Ghosts (both versions but I prefer US) (Paramount
Welcome to Wrexam (hulu) I didnt even like soccer before I started, still dont TBH
Nine Perfect Strangers (hulu) liked the first season better than the second
Schitt's Creek (hulu)

Im considering Traitors (Paramount). I LOVE Survivor and a lot of Survivor fans really love Traitors. Well, guess I recommend Survivor too (Paramount).

I love a good rewatch. I just rewatched Interview With the Vampire (TV) (AMC) and it has me so pumped for season 3 this summer.

Murdoch Mysteries is rather fun, set in the Victorian era in Canada and you get to "meet" characters like Tesla.

IIRC, we don't have the same taste but I'm currently watching Fringe again via Hulu.
I think it's very interesting & imaginative/not predictable but it IS sci-fi

But monkeydawn's recommendation of Buffy is pretty fantasy-based, too. I loved the dialog in that series. Great, funny character interaction. But I thought most guys already watched it b/c ....Sarah Michelle Geller....

We have Disney/Hulu for $5/mo (up to a year) so I'm not sure about other things we're watching. Pretty sure all the SW stuff (Andor, The Mandolorian) are Disney
