Anna (a.k.a., Ms Loshonkohl) will often use the incorrect verb when making a request; however, the following is a brief conversation we had the other day at our pharmacy:
Anna: Can I go to the bathroom?
Me: It’s may.
Anna: No, it’s January!
Our upcoming movie is The Princess Bride, but that true story above reminds me of something that someone shared with me the other day. One of our customers came in looking for simethicone to help her with her flatulence problem. She said when she farted the other day and her coworker had to open a window. Since I know she is a flight attendant, that had to be really bad!
As a pharmacy we have learned a lot about various health concerns. What is the most common health concern for LEGO Minifigures?
Separation anxiety!
On a more serious note, I was just reading that LEGO bricks are being used to help people with dementia and Alzheimer’s.
It takes over 3500 bolts to assemble a car, but it only takes one nut to spread it all across the highway. Don’t drink and drive this New Year’s Eve.
If you are looking for a fun alcohol free destination this Saturday, we will be playing board games through midnight. The Soda counter will still close at 7PM but we will continue to hang out and have fun. I know I’m going to try and convince some of those that come to play Xia: Embers of a forsaken star, and we’re going to make sure the tower of Sauron collapses at midnight by starting the theatrical release of the Return of the King at precisely 9:13:35
Since Mary gave birth to Jesus and Jesus is the lamb of God…
Did Mary have a little lamb?
A. No eyed deer (sounds like no idea).
Q. What do you call a reindeer with no eyes and no legs?
A. Still no eyed deer.

She caught him picking his nose!
Christmas is finally arriving in a little over two weeks and I’m so excited because this is the only chance I have to wear all my annoying Christmas gear and tell my extra awful Christmas jokes! Speaking of Christmas jokes here is what I like to think of as my snowman collection.

So a health insurance plan with a four letter name is actively mistreating us. They have a commercial plan that individuals and small businesses have been purchasing through the health exchanges that is making a dramatic change to their pharmacy network. They are removing independent pharmacies, like us, from their network and they have sent letters to the various people in those plans telling customers to transfer to a different pharmacy. It is worth pointing out that if you did not receive a letter, you are probably not affected.

This Saturday is a day when you are encouraged to utilize the services and products of various small businesses like ours. This make me think about when our business was first getting started over 6 years ago. One of my friends arranged for flowers to be sent to mark the occasion and wish the Shannon and I luck.
The flowers duly arrived at our new business and and when we read the accompanying card we found it said, “Rest in Peace”.
I gave my friend a call and told him what the card read. He was really angry and called the florist to complain.
After he had told the florist of the obvious mistake and how angry he was, the florist said, “Sir, I’m really sorry for the mistake, but rather than getting angry you should consider this… somewhere there’s a funeral taking place today, and they have flowers with a note saying, ‘Congratulations on your new location.’”
So my in-laws (not to be mistaken with the out laws) have this fantastically awful tradition of singing a turkey song that I’m pretty sure they collectively made up. I have, in more recent years, seen others perform it on YouTube and yet it somehow misses the simultaneously comedic and melancholy way that they perform it. Without any further ado hear are the lyrics to the song:
