Guest guest Posted October 17, 2001 Report Share Posted October 17, 2001 I can get Canada Dry. I was just concerned that when I moved to the US, it would be one of the products I wouldn't find easily. I was happy when my local grocer had it. (After some nagging, they are now stocking my favourite Dare Cookies too :-) There are however, a lot of my favourite Canadian products that I can't get. Kroger is starting to stock some of them under their President Selection brand name, but being greedy, I want them all. And I want them yesterday!!

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2001 Report Share Posted October 18, 2001 I have been using walgreens for years. I was getting Oxycontin from them way before the oxycontin abuse became public. It got to the point that every time I took in a script for oxycontin, they treated me like I was a junkie trying to get my fix! Like I had a prescription pad in my pocket and was just writing myself scripts whenever I felt like it! I got sick of it, sent an email to the walgreens headquarters, telling them the situation. I never got a response from them, but I *know* that this walgreens I go to had to have been notified of my email. They are so nice to me now. If I'm waiting for a script, they will tell me it will be ready in a few minutes and " I'll bring it right out for you! " The pharmacist always smiles at me now and is nice as can be, probably calling me a bitch when I leave, but so be it. I am not a junkie and I will not stand being treated like one!!

They are made by Cadbury and each wafer comes in its own black and gold envelope. I can order After Eights online, but they are about 3 times as expensive on the net as they are in a corner grocers! They are a Christmas Tradition in my family. Japanese mandarin oranges are the highest quality Mandarin Oranges grown in the world. Many countries call them " Christmas Oranges " because the trees bear most of their fruit in November and December. Back home, when the first shipment arrives from Japan, I always headed for the store to get a box of them. China has a Mandarin Orange that is quite good too, but not quite as good as those from Japan. Last Christmas, when I realized that I couldn't buy Japanese or Chinese Mandarins, I got so homesick that I cried. It was the first time in 48 years that I didn't have my favourite Christmas Oranges and it really hit me how foreign everything felt.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2001 Report Share Posted October 18, 2001 Yes, I do. I spend a lot of time picking things up, cleaning up things that spilled when I dropped them. The rest of the time I spend looking for things that I don't remember where I put them.

I sometimes have problems holding on to things, and often seem to " misgrab " stuff. Like I think I have a hold of the water glass and it just seems to roll out of my fingers and onto the floor. I haven't even gotten to the " pick up " stage, I'm just trying to get a hold on it. Darcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
