day.......ho hum....223

 I just want to say something

    Listening to a tv station that plays old shows is depressing.

    So many commercials about Medicare plans and options.  Reverse mortgages.  Portable oxygen units. In home health care.

    The medication commercials scare me.

    Ever listen to the list of possible side effects?

    I love the ones that say don't take it if you are allergic to it.  How the hell do you know you are allergic to it until you take it? Then it might be too late!  If your lips puff up like a banana and your face turns red and  you stop breathing, wouldn't that  be too late to find out if you are allergic?

    Or the anti depressant that says use could lead to an increase in suicides.  Really?  Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the pill?

    The side effects listed are often longer than the benefits of taking the pill.

    Oh mygosh, I will never take a new medication after listening to them.

    And why does Joe Namath need to be aspokesperson for an insurance company?  Or Joe Theisman (rhymes with Heisman) for that matter.  Or William Shatner recommending a cleaning  device for his sleep machine.  Don't they have enough money?

    There also seems to be a never ending series of appeals.....saving animals, feeding people, children's hospitals.... all good causes but how can you support all of them?

    I guess I could watch less of those channels....not that I watch a lot of them now.     Something that irritating kind of defeats the purpose of my new antidepressant medication.....of which one of the side effects is intolerance of tv commercials.  It says so, right on the label.

    Stay healthy  Stay safe.  Please, don a mask.

Peace and Love
