    Don't forget to add extra Graham (TFA) regardless of the flavor name, they all need it (I believe Fran and I agree on that)
    I also like (PUR) NY cheesecake (it does have a coconut note but that doesn't bother me... goes away after a long steep)
    All my cheesecakes have had extra graham long before you started mixing.

    I hadn't done anything with mine either. Thought it was time. I did add 1% Acai to mine. I can't taste the Acai over the cookie which is fine. It has very very barely a bit of tart which tells me it's probably quite sweet without the Acai. I do love the taste of the Almond Cookie in it.

    I am so glad to hear this! I hope to make some this weekend!

    I wonder if I could make the like oatmeal from scratch that my husband vapes man. Of course that would involve a careful study in how to cook it, and like that would mean he would KNOW I know how to make it.

    Bed in 45 minutes then I GIVE UP I AM CALLING MY PHARMACY tomorrow and capitulating. SEND it to my nearest CVS in store pharmacy I will say.

    It's a higher copay that way, but they are CVS they will always win. They are CVS.

    I am trying to think of a time that I fought CVS over anything and won, and it's like ZERO times.

    Weekend goal: Do not leave the house. Rest.

    This 4 am thing SUUUCKS.

    You can get the ones with a USB... will record directly to a computer (does the analog to digital for you)

    I'm keeping it simple and cheap. It'll play records and connect via bluetooth to her phone or other device to play music, but that's it. She wants more she'll have to wait or buy it herself.

    Not for mail order, no. CAREMARK is like the pirate flag that like waves over all the CVSs in America. Mail order pharmacies are like really happy with themselves to have the CAREMARK uh thing, because it CERTAINLY CARES (not about you) it can compel a larger market share of the pharmaceuticals, and it will leave its mark.

    I don't nessesarily have a problem with ALL CVSs actually the one in Douglas was like, Magic. It was one of the few fully functioning businesses in town.

    But Caremark... It's like the death start. They always say the same thing, "The quickest way you can get it done is to like, use a PHARMACY in TOWN and we will be HAPPY To transfer your prescription to ANY in network pharmacy near you." Then YOU say, "Uh well it is my understanding that it will cost me three times as much then." They are like, "Yes, yes it will." So you stay on hold to be told you can have it filled the next day and then you say, "And you are NOT going to charge me 24 bucks for next day shipping." So then you wait another few hours and like, they come back and say, "Thank you for holding." You say, "No, red hot brand of Caremark it has been entirely my pleasure to WAIT on you, honest. Please don't hurt me." Then, they don't send it and like you are like, ,"COOL It's SUNDAY and you give up and you have them fill it for 3 x the price wherever because a weekend without the Imperative Med is gonna cost you 200K and your job and you know it and they know it.

    It's cool. Things could be way worse. It's the weekend! LOL they know that too.

    I miss Cigna a LOT. I had Cigna for over a decade one time. It was the best healthcare I ever had. Sigh. Well, things be a changing. Also, I mean I don't cost them MUCH. I am healthy! Usually! Really it just IRKS me to pay TRIPLE what it cost them to obtain it etc.

    So yeah I may have to capitulate.

    I was so tired I forgot to take my meds until just recently so I gonna be up a bit but I plan to sleep in I think. My soul is a night owl and my body has lead boots tied to concrete blocks. This week was super brutal. I feel like some days off be coming.

    I should have known (everything is wireless now) My nephew has this speaker (looks just like a small guitar amp) that does bluetooth from his phone... that things sounds great and has a rechargable battery that lasts for days.

    I am trying to think of a time that I fought CVS over anything and won, and it's like ZERO times.

    I won one over CVS the other day. I had my eye procedure done and was on my way home when I realized I didn't have any prescriptions that the doctor said I would be getting. I called and talked to the doctor and she said she had sent them into the pharmacy on my file, the hometown pharmacy that closes at 5pm. Since the scripts were for my eye drops, which she specifically stated she wanted me to start that night, and for my pain pills, I asked her to call them in to CVS instead.

    When I got to CVS and gave them my insurance information, the girl stated that since it had already been filled at the other pharmacy, they couldn't fill them. She said I should go to the other pharmacy the next morning and have them release the scripts, so they could fill them. I told her that if I were to wait till the next morning, I'd pick them up at the other pharmacy, but I was told that was to start the eye drops that night. Couldn't she call the insurance company and get them released? After a few no's and some IDK, she went and made the phone call. It turns out that the doctor had not sent the scripts to the local pharmacy, but to the mail order pharmacy. The joys of online prescribing, no doubt.

    If I hadn't been so insistent, not only would I have not gotten my meds that night, but I would've shown up at the pharmacy the next day just to find out that they didn't have my scripts. That girl at CVS had really just wanted me to go away.

    I want to try almond cookie flavor (actually eating some right now... they actually have almond paste filling) What brand is good? Or (since I already have cookie) what is a good almond flavor? Umm, sorry for so many questions, but that reminds me... what about a Ameretto flavor?
