I have something for discussion. Where have you all had NOTHING but luck with a decent Pharmacy inside the Villages? We don't mind a little ride to not have a story on every refill and the continuing bull that we have experienced over this way. Your assistance is appreciated.

I know the stores are hammered with customers but they also shoot themselves in the foot often because of being overworked. Wish I could go to a nice pharmacy up north but it wouldn't work out. Too far in the Golf Cart. :1rotfl:

We use Walgreens on Parr Dr and have not had any problems but our prescriptions are NOTHING but the boring kind.

Thanks, FW. A simple refill of a boring one from us is turning into a story. NOTHING but disappointed as I admittedly am comparing to where I did live. It's not really fair to these people down here but when the pharmacist's assistants come up to you having an anxiety attack because they are getting handled roughly by everyone something is wrong and I don't want any part of it. I don't want to argue or straighten them out I just wanna put in an order and pick it up. I'm gonna switch my stuff over.

The best thing is the one on Parr is close to Culvers! Ah, Heaven! A Mixer, yum. Thanks for the helping hand. :clap2:

I'm not sure what kind of bull you mean or even the story on every refill? Do you mean they are nothing but questioning your prescription? Or socializing kind of stories?

We've never had any problems with the pharmacy at Publix. Used it for lots of prescriptions up until a couple of months ago. We were never questioned about anything.

We now use the mail-order coverage through DH's union.

The story is that you get text messages that your goodies are ready and show up for NOTHING but a story. Script not ready. The dog ate the Script. We are forgiving sort of people but this is at least the fifth time the same type of thing has happened. When you have to suffer through a Golf Cart Ride and then Suffer through going to Dunkin Donuts for NOTHING it gets old after a while. They are just to busy I think.

We were doing great with Publix but there is one big problemo, there are not any of them in N.J. We went back to Walgreens for that reason. These are for Simple Prescriptions, not the ones that are classified as rough or whatever you call them, the ones that get your picture in the paper.

That Mail Order thing is interesting also. Good thinking. I'm gonna try Parr first and if that is a problem then Mail Order.

So here we NOTHING go again. Told yesterday to be at Walgreens at 10 AM this morning. I was told text would not be sent. I got a text at 10.03 AM today that the order is ready. Albuterol, no biggy. I get to the store and I get it too soon for a refill from a different pharmacist than the one I spoke to last night. Anywho, in the end, I prevailed and got an apology from the store manager with the explanation that two long term Pharmacists with over 25 years each had departed the company. One retired and I don't remember what the story was with the other one. I showed them the Email and Text saying its ready. I just this second got another text telling me to pick up my prescription. Great people but in transition I guess. I'm inclined to give them a break but I'm going to the Parr Store for now.

Need a little Pool Therapy. What a shame the kids at home are bracing for a nasty snow storm. I feel NOTHING but guilty. NOT! :shocked:

Where is Waldo? I Dunno. Probably busy. Could move on down here and name your price. I know a place that's desperately looking for a special person or team. :blahblahblah:

Minneapolis is getting NOTHING but an all time record amount of snow. I remember ten foot mounds of snow some winters that did not melt until March or so. Or later.

I understand FW. I just got off the phone with my best friend in N.J. and he got some bad news today about a Cancer issue that he has been dealing with since about a month after he retired from a Township Job that he worked at for over 40 years. We are not officially brothers but he is even better than a brother. He said when he gets to NOTHING but where he thinks he's gonna end up that he was going to send me a message or sign that he was ok. I told him that I don't think the message or sign could make it through the heat from where he is going to end up. We love to laugh. It's not morbid it's appropriate.

I have no problems, I'm sorta ashamed about talking about problems picking up a simple prescription. This is a real problem. But what a lesson this guy has taught so many of us. He accepted his lot in life for the day. He did NOTHING but everything he could do to help himself and together throughout the entire ordeal his faith is unshakable. I offered to go up and help him as best as we can but he strongly declined. I met him 25 years ago at a Club I belong to. One of the luckiest days of my life ending up with a friend and brother like him. Life can change in a minute, someone I admire just told me that a short time ago. :pray:

So sorry to hear this Nucky. I think it is great that he has his faith to help him through it. Bad stuff happens and we can accept it or not but the outcome is NOTHING but the same.

Nucky. I never really found a friend like you found. NOTHING but the grace of God that a true friend shows up for some of us. Strangers have been my grace quite a bit. Mainly because I moved around so much getting the four degrees in five states and also moving with my family various places.

Tal, I'm NOTHING but fortunate that I have two friends of that caliber. It just happened. Whatever, whenever, no questions ever. Unusual but true. :coolsmiley:

He sent me a sign today just by calling at an unusual time. It was snowing and he is trapped at home until the storm passes. It felt like he was saying goodbye that's why I offered to go help. He declined so I will listen to him. What a great person he is. Selfless describes him perfectly. He is not afraid of what's coming because of his faith. He is looking to be reunited with his wife.

We are NOTHING but waiting for our company (from NJ) to come next week. We have not seen them for about 15 years. I met them many many moons ago when we all lived in MA. I am hoping I can convince them to move here since I think it would be perfect for them.

As your pal, I'm gonna have to get you a Commission for getting those poor people to make the big move. It's an Attraction To the Villages Thing, no Promotion Really Needed.

There is one item that will open their eyes the most, just bring up Property Taxes. They will be NOTHING but pleased with how we all get billed for living in a nicer safer place.

Why do I get the feeling that 80% of the people living in The Villages are NOTHING but transplants from NY and NJ? Even the nice lady I spoke to to set up our Lifestyle visit still had a strong NY accent after being in Florida for over 30 years..

There are a large population of people from the midwest and another large population form the northeast. Just think of NOTHING but the coldest and most expensive places.

They show the number of people with Villages' IDS by state in The Villages Daily Sun. NOTHING but interesting. But this does not actually get the statistics as many of these people moved to somewhere from the Tri-State area and then claim places like Florida as home towns.

That's nothing but funny since just the other day I was commenting on how most of the people I meet are from Ohio or Michigan. Although I heard there were a lot of transplants from NY and NJ, we have not met many - just a few here and there. LOL

They should NOTHING but turn the lights off and pull the plug out on Minnesota & Ohio. Everybody from there is now here.

The nicest guy bought a house in our neighborhood and took an already beautiful home and poured a bundle into it and much to our surprise just sold it. We met him last night and asked why? It is simple he said, we miss the change of the seasons :super: and are moving to Tennesse to build a new home. We wished him luck and admire him for busting a move.

Just came back from Costco. As I passed the bacon sampling station, I realized I was NOTHING but missing something............

Abby10 02-21-2019 04:33 PM

Sorry NOTHING buddies, but we've been really busy here. All good stuff but many twists and turns which ultimately will affect our move. I say good because it has opened up some new doors and although it may create a few obstacles it will all pay off in the end, I hope. In the meantime lots of work to do.

So much to catch up on with you guys. In glancing over the posts over the past few days there are a few things I want to respond to but it may take me a few days to get to them. I do want to say to Nucky - I'm so sorry about your friend. Praying that whatever amount of time he has left that it is filled with peace and joy as to where he will eternally reside. NOTHING but a greater blessing than to have a friend like that, and likewise for him to have a friend like you.

Miss you guys!

I know........it's been crazy. I have texts that took me 3 days to respond to, so it's not just NOTHING that I've been neglecting. By attempting to stay focused here at home I did manage to clear some things off my plate so hopefully there will be more time to do NOTHING.

Oh, and somehow in the midst of all this, I've mastered the art of napping. One day my husband came downstairs and found me asleep on the couch with my coat and boots on. Instead of going to do errands which I was supposed to be headed out to do, I just leaned over on the couch and NOTHING but fell asleep.......lol
