    To be ugly but the info on this had been trending for days. So u must have thought it was not going to happen and therefore dis not move to take care of your needs. The assumption that others should risk their lives because of your own inaction is insane although the norm nowadays.

    The first seventy two is on you.

    It’s not just for hurricanes.

    We never lost power. I finished off some ramen noodles I probably should have eaten before last year and some canned goods best eaten by 2015. Now let me see what’s further back in that cabinet

    Life is good …

    @JennyRae- I had to get out this morning to go check on my parents. I drove across town doing ten and fifteen miles per hour with no issues. The idiots around me going fast and breaking hard were the only ones sliding all over the roads and in ditches.

    Lala, you must not have a job. The Pharmacy is not open 24/7 and we have to go to work. Many had to work right until the inclement weather and were released just early enough to get home. Not everyone lives in your dream world of candy cane forests and swirly twirly gum drops.

    Pharmacy warning posted on 1/22/25. A warning should be delivered earlier. All that was was an aggravated person ranting. It’s not helpful. This type of situation is difficult for everyone. I get it. Your job really is extremely important and valuable.
    We trust our Pharmacy staff with our health and more importantly our family members health. Please don’t try to disguise a superiority rant as a Public Service Announcement. It’s not helpful

    @JennyRae0209 Not trying to be impathetic here, But, you were given ample notice of the impending weather. It is your responsibility to make sure you have everything you need to get thru.

    With warning of all of the impending weather, it is your responsibility to make sure you pick up your medicine before anything like this. Most insurances allows you to fill it at least 10 days early as long as it isn’t a control. In pharmacies, a lot of people were very aware of the weather and picked up their medication ahead of time. It isn’t the pharmacy’s responsibility of reminding you of your medication and of the weather conditions coming. Pharmacy staff and any other people that work in all of these stores are HUMAN and do not have to put their lives at risk.

    Are the roads open enough to deliver mail this morning? USPS set out mass text for carriers to be at office at 9:30. I’m hoping I can get my car out of the driveway.

    I dont think they will arrest you, but you’re on your own if things go bad, emergency vegicles may not be able to assist.

    I have a question.
    What if you have a prescription due to be picked up. You are out of medication. This is something that must be taken.
    What then?
