GM Styling went nuts for about 25 years and they are only now beginning to come out of it. The ugliest car they EVER came up with was that horrid Pontiac Aztec. They must have been on some BAD drugs when they came up with that thing!Louis la Vachehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09039777863022193315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-41344369312660078842013-10-18T00:03:57.992-04:002013-10-18T00:03:57.992-04:00I was in my seventies before I had to start taking...I was in my seventies before I had to start taking blood pressure medicine. I take a pill for cholesterol, 2 for blood pressure,a Prilisec for a reflux problem,baby aspirin, vitimin, and a fish oil cap. I'm sure I will have to take until!I do take over the counter pain medicine every now and then. Do they help me, not sure about some, but I can't do with the Prilisec.

When I reached age 60 I thought I may need a doctor someday so I got one.

My feet and heels hurt so bad I can hardly walk and it has been a long long time. It is a side affect. So my choice is to not walk and have pain in my feet OR die of high cholesterol - what's a girl to do?Chatty Cronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02232040517217024681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-5380355939748456652013-10-17T16:51:05.709-04:002013-10-17T16:51:05.709-04:00Most of the prescription cost is because of advert...Most of the prescription cost is because of advertising them.

He had major heart surgery so what does that say. He takes 4 necessary pills to maintain his heart. I take 6 to maintain an old body but I am considering doing away with 2 very expensive ones.

Of course, this week, I've had a terrible sore throat, and I'm really thankful for a little generic pill of ibuprofen.<br /><br />bonnie k.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-46360163141477672312013-10-17T15:47:33.084-04:002013-10-17T15:47:33.084-04:00It is ridiculous the number of pills some people a...It is ridiculous the number of pills some people are on, like your friend Sonny before he passed. And sometimes you have to take a pill because of the side effects of another pill. What a mess it can be. Hubby's parents had a friend that was on a lot of medicine. He said that he was going to stop them; they told him not to that he would probably die without them. He was older with lots of medical problems. They saw his obituary a few weeks later; they never knew if he stopped his meds. I'd be tempted to stop them in a similar situation.<br /><br />Not on a forever pill here myself. I fear if a doctor ever wants to prescribe something for me, I've resolved not to be on more than 3-4 pills if even that much.<br /><br />Good topic today Jack!<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-81193655966824276172013-10-17T11:32:56.718-04:002013-10-17T11:32:56.718-04:00If your toe hurts they have a pill,

Once I wanted to loose 5 lbs. I ask Dr. Kelly can't you prescribe something to help. This was his answer. He pulled himself up to his desk and said this will help, took his hands and pushed away from the table. I got it watch<br />what I was eating. He was a good Dr. but no longer here. <br /><br />shirl72https://www.blogger.com/profile/17268124369207064149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-7302213639859690052013-10-17T11:09:39.891-04:002013-10-17T11:09:39.891-04:00Right now my forever pill is a couple of aspirin. ...Right now my forever pill is a couple of aspirin. I don't take them every day, but they seem to help what ails me. It is amazing the amount of drugstores we have now. I remember when there were really only three in our town now they are everywhere. It's true maybe those pills are keeping folks alive. Some probably need them. I do remember when there were sometimes two gas stations maybe 3 on ever major intersection in our town. Now you only see that on interstate exits. Our town used to be like that but now we only have five that I can think of within the city limits. What a change . I've often wondered about that when there are more and more cars being driven. Maybe those folks fill up on the interstates exits as so many work out of town now. it's very chilly here this morning. The furnace is running so I'm keeping warm inside.I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-10221583331264780252013-10-17T10:56:20.900-04:002013-10-17T10:56:20.900-04:00I only take one med...and I only started taking it...I only take one med...and I only started taking it this year. It is a pill I am supposed to take once a week for osteoporosis. I said "supposed" to take because sometimes I forget to take it.
