Instead they must ONLY prescribe a recognized "blood thinner," in pill form manufactured by an FDA approved pharmacutical company. The only exception is: Under Obamacare, generic pills manufactured in places like India, and third world countries are approved for those who can't afford to buy "brand" medicine. In which case, a can of BEER is more safe than a generic pill.<br /><br />Oooh, the REAL truth !!! Heard the latest craze ? Rich folks are holding private parties where "knowledgeable" speakers - concerning a specific subject - are invited to discuss their understanding of an event, case, experience, etc. It's kinda like a famous singer being paid $$$$ to perform at a special birthday party.<br /><br />Robert Hendricksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02880909248364077567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171370990642927748.post-70850260822895319952014-06-11T18:43:24.987-04:002014-06-11T18:43:24.987-04:00Not quite oo-EE-oo but pretty weird.....Not quite oo-EE-oo but pretty weird.....Doc Sierrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15092659205764422809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171370990642927748.post-50385637545328083312014-06-11T16:55:25.531-04:002014-06-11T16:55:25.531-04:00how weird is that, Doc?!how weird is that, Doc?!Patty is Deadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07717777500117142160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171370990642927748.post-49023990824451954552014-06-11T16:37:01.139-04:002014-06-11T16:37:01.139-04:00What a trip.

The Family may have been fringe, but they did not exist in a vacuum. It seems like maybe this festival had something to do with the BEL's guilt, remorse, and a need for absolution from what went terribly wrong in their operation.Patty is Deadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07717777500117142160noreply@blogger.com
