^ Just saw The men who stare at goats - good little movie, and a fabulous cast. Hard to believe the story is based on a perfectly serious BBC documentary!

Just pre-ordered BBC's "Survivors" seasons 1 & 2 for my nephew.

 

[Miss Chicken]

Is that the original "Survivors" (from the 1970s) or the newer series?

I received "Primeval Season 1 and 2" in the post today.

I also bought a lifetime membership of Librarythings.

a new BATTERY CHARGER.

Well, i haven't bought it yet, but i will be today for sure. Just went to put my mouse battery into the recharger and found someone (possibly me) put a non rechargeable battery in there. It freaking exploded and got acid all over the charger.

The newer series. We watched the first season together when he stayed with us during Spring Break, and he thought it was the coolest thing EVER (he's 12 ) . But he doesn't get BBCAmerica where he lives, so I thought he really like the DVDs.

Beer, groceries and my one remaining expensive prescription ($166/month, ugh).

[Kestra]

Beer, groceries and my one remaining expensive prescription ($166/month, ugh).

One of the prescription medications for my asthma costs me approximately $300/month, even with my insurance.

 

[auntiehill]

About 85 bucks worth of groceries. God Damn Whole Foods.

 

[think]

[Miss Chicken]

Beer, groceries and my one remaining expensive prescription ($166/month, ugh).

One of the prescription medications for my asthma costs me approximately $300/month, even with my insurance.

That is absolutely awful. I use three different medications for my asthma. Below are the three medications followed by the price I pay as a pensioner for them, the price non-pensioners pay (under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme) and the third figure is the price the medication would be if not for the scheme

Asmol (generic altermative to ventolin) $5.40/$15.22/$15.22
Seretide $5.40/$33.30/$77.69
Prednisolone (panfcortelone) 5.40/$9.90/$9.90

There is also a safety net. If I as a pensioner reach the threshold (which in 2008 was $290) I get my prescriptions after that for free. If a non-pensioner reaches their threshold (AUD$1141.80 in 2008) than they get the rest of their prescriptons for the same price as pensioners (currently $5.40). The vast majority of drugs are on the PBS.
