Blister pack is a type packaging used for pharmaceuticals and foods. A preformed plastic 'tray' with indentations (blisters) holds each dose of medicine. Attached to the plastic is usually foil coated paper that seals the contents. The user has to bend the plastic at the corner lifting the foil to expose the contents. In theory, it's pretty simple. In realty, it can bring on an episode of Tourette syndrome.

I picked up my 90 day refill of hypertension medicine and the package was much larger than expected. I questioned if they had the right medicine and the pharmacy technician apologized. They were out of bottled stock at the distributor and only blister packs were being shipped.

As expected, the blister package I received doesn't break open at the corners as instructed. I have to cut it open with a razor knife!




I'll probably open a bunch and repackage them into a bottle so I don't have to waste time fumbling with a knife and a blister pack each day.

It appears there's no reason to wear a mask at the White House as everyone working there has COVID-19 and under quarantine.
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany and 2 of her deputies are on the list!

My suggestion... If you plan to have a tour of the White House on Columbus Day, it would be a good idea to postpone that trip!

The list of those who work at the White House who are affected by COVID-19 has grown sharply. Thursday, it was president Trump and the first lady Melania that followed after Hope Hicks. On Friday, Kellyanne Conway made the list. I believe that makes seven.
I think it's because they aren't following guidelines established by the CDC.

Who's next?

...otherwise known as the US Presidential debates. Followed by both popular vote and EC mandates.
Anyone spending more than a few minutes catching gaff machine, -sniffy, creepy, real racist, Joe Biden,- will get it. Sadly, evidence be damned, the deluded and deep in denial TD-HD Syndrome sufferers won't. Or actually can't.
But knowing the deep character deficits among the biased MSM, and Dem pols, VERY deep, I expect a late hour hail Mary pass scheme to prevent the imminent, embare-assing slaughter.
Oh, how the sociopathic mind does wander.
My bets are on some fake, VERY fake, medical ruse.
The powerful medications uncle Joe has reportedly been taking, (with mixed, VERY mixed results), are not without side effects. Most are not serious enough to call for a last hour medically based emergency, say copious diarrhea, and attendant dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and cardiac arrhythmias. Sure, it's a stretch. But hardly outside of the Dems' huge bag of tricks, as anyone watching the now 3 plus year, repeatedly failed, witch hunts will know.
But many other ridiculous schemes abound. A few weeks ago, the red kneed House Speaker, NP, called for cancelling the debates, on the grounds (can't make this stuff up), that Mr. Trump is such an awful person, that he doesn;t deserve a place on the same stage with the Honorable ex VP.
Stay tuned. The antisocial drive, VERY antisocial, to shucking and jiving others never stops.
Just review B. HUSSEIN's outburts of nonsense and lies. And gaffs and malapropisms.
None of which would be said by anyone even remotely making it into the Ivy League, based on character, rather than skin color.
Just as MLK told us all how to live. Except he was caught plagiarizing his Doctorate thesis, and liked to sniff Dem White wimens now and again, behind the decent, lovely Coretta Scott's back.
Flawed, as are all of us. But thankfully nowhere as bad as the many Negro criminal felons being praised by libs, VERY lib, in the news, after being shot dead by honorable police, of all races.
Nothing made up here folks.

I Just Read A Blog About Quitting A Bad Habit. For me, at this point in my life (if my life was a football match, l'd be back out for the second half ) l think it is as easy to start a good habit as a bad one.
Too many people show weakness just to fit in. After covid 19, people will be more respectful of the people around them.
As a cyclist it occurs to me that what we call social distancing is about the amount of space a car should clear a cyclist on the road by. Maybe people can think that way in future.

In life, l believe most situations we face
Present us with three options
One : Take positive action
Two: Take no action
Three: Take negative action
For me, Do the right thing, bury your head in the sand or somehow worsen the situation.
I hope reading this blog helps somebody or improves their outlook
And understanding. But even if it does not, writing it has helped me by giving me a platform to express myself.
Thank you for reading

...big government compared with the dreaded private sector.
Syndromic alt lefties actually refuse to see the huge differences here. Examples are many. I'll merely mention a few for starters.
In health care, principally from the ethically stipulated subfields of geriatric and transplant medicine, there is a money saving movement, principally among supporters of the unafordable health noncare act, to deny treatments to certain groups of individuals. Overweight and in terminal heart failure? Like your beer and are in terminal stages of liver failure? Much easier to prevail for life saving transplants over private insurance than the biiiig baaaad government. Many more clinical examples, but at least under private systems, the appeal process is much more accessible and extensive.The courts and marketing forces can make companies take notice. Big government could care less. "Too old" for many other interventions?Conscription of your daughters and sons anyone? Pols decide.
Government insinuating it's power between clinicians and their charges. Nuff said.
And the whole concept of eminent domain is a cautionary tale. Your municipality wants your home destroyed for a new park or highway? Or a residential development funded by connected (lobbyists) pols. By fiat, and a quick vote, your home/farm/business are toast, unless the expropriators are private.
Of course, the worst examples come from governments of the one party, fascist dictator States, as with Commie China, Cuba, and the lot. Bridges to nowhere, unoccupied enormous apartment blocks,--- all by dispossessing the land of rural multigenerational farmers. But don't just take my words for it.
Just another of many valid arguments to limit big government to having power over the smallest reasonable tiny list of activities. The potentials for corruption and abuses of power are legion.
I really think those suffering from TD-HD Syndromes get it, but the levels of denial and other obsessive pathologies keep the awareness under tight wraps. VERY tight.
Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Its time to laugh and not to cry .its time live and not to die.its time to think of this world we live .it time to give and not to take.its time to think of each other. ..its time to love and not to hate .........please add. thank you .Terence

...hello new conservative SCOTUS Associate Justice. A delicious six to three court. Hopefully Judge Amy, ---yum, yum, yum. But Mr.Trump is wisely also thinking of a younger conservative woman of color, not VERY much color. After re-election, Jugde Barrett is next. then 7 to 2, for decades.
Sinara Clinical Fetus Murder (CFM). Except perhaps only in early embryonic stages of development and on a State by State and rigorous vetting basis. Where possible, dads' and family input as well as clinicians, ethicists and judges. And one per woman per lifetime, nationally enforced. Mistakes happen. And any slob can be too lazy to practice effective contraception. Times one.
And severe penalties for those clinicians performing CFM, and for repeat mom's killing their young.
In training, some can recall galgen humour.
As in, "You rape 'em, we scrape 'em. No fetus can beat us." Sick, no? But CFM is much worse.
Ho,ho,ho. Go Trump.
