Sadly a lot of gullible viewers buy it every month for more than $35.00 for 30 worthless capsules. Why? Because the maker's very expensive ad campaign has lots of well-paid professionals lying about its effectiveness, claiming they were impressed by its unimpressive research, and suggesting that their memories have been reignited by this jellyfish-based capsules of no more value than a Tic-Tac. Now the perpetrator of this successful fraud has found the ultimate con man: an actual pharmacist who swears that Prevagen is effective despite all the facts that prove it's a scam. Being a Prevagen user is like buying 30 jelly beans every month for more than $1 a bean</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span face="-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", sans-serif" style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(42, 60, 66); color: #2a3c42; font-size: 14px;">How is it legal? Common sense tells you theres no drug in existence that can make your brain healthier, if there were, it would be a remarkable scientific breakthrough. The drug company who invented it would charge insurance companies thousands of dollars per pill. It would not be sold over the counter for $39.99 at CVS. There would be massive shortages of it because everyone in the country would be prescribed it. People make fun of the fact that Geritol in the 1950s would advertise about improving “tired blood”…how is this not the same thing?</span></span></p><div aria-level="2" data-hveid="CEQQAg" data-ved="2ahUKEwia3IzEs5CFAxVaVTABHQlUCfoQk_QHKAF6BAhEEAI" role="heading" style="caret-color: rgb(31, 31, 31);

Donald Trump is above the law. He has been a criminal for his entire life and never been stopped by the law. Even today judges bow and scrape to him, jump through hoops to grant him the postponements he demands, take his petty requests to his Supreme Court cronies. Today they lowered the bond he couldn't possibly pay. But it's not just the law; networks air his every obscene assault on civility, make him the star of every broadcast. repeat each insane comment from his lying lips, and allow his mentally challenged fans to declare him an honest patriot innocent of all the criminal charges for which he never actually does time or penance. No other person has been so pampered and indulged by the legal profession. Every convict in every prison should be pissed to see this career criminal so indulged by the so-called long arm of the law.</span></p>The Cranky Copywriterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14383383796464500734noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258189418337867402.post-894837530759957092024-03-17T08:09:00.000-07:002024-03-17T08:13:21.465-07:00THE REAL ANIMALS<p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_iqjzuxQ8a1Y9ACydWWqkceC4qGgOmrDMF-bTEzgq0oUoEGRnIfXVoza-_G09QtFuc8noWahWYC1kjSQ08UvguZaD1izA3e3w7jzNofJ7OMToQaa2Dxglc3hmYoN072tkoIIQKguxbrVIr5D948fz0ZmPM4gQvA84oUse795DM1HUt27L8X4tkawx550v/s225/Unknown.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="225" data-original-width="225" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_iqjzuxQ8a1Y9ACydWWqkceC4qGgOmrDMF-bTEzgq0oUoEGRnIfXVoza-_G09QtFuc8noWahWYC1kjSQ08UvguZaD1izA3e3w7jzNofJ7OMToQaa2Dxglc3hmYoN072tkoIIQKguxbrVIr5D948fz0ZmPM4gQvA84oUse795DM1HUt27L8X4tkawx550v/w400-h400/Unknown.jpeg" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /> </span><span style="font-size: large;">In a rally last night, Donald Trump, the world's most evil man, described those persons on the border in search of freedom as animals.

Glassy eyed morons totally unaware of how hungrily they gobble down his feasts of false claims. These are not Americans. They are without kindness, honesty, morals. Their hero is a rapist, thief, con man, and most of all liar, who showers most of his lies on them. He is not their leader but their trainer.

Not just for Trump who cons his millions of Clems and Doras to send him money, despite claiming to be a billionaire. But for ordinary citizens who tape commercials for Prevagen claiming miraculous benefits from a product that has proven to be nothing but a placebo, thus encouraging America's gullible consumers to spend over 40 dollars a month on a worthless product. It's pure bunk. Sadly the government no longer bans deceptive advertising, which is why we have so many ads for Golo, tooth-whitening toothpaste, scam like febrize who claim to eliminate odors which they just mask like everyone else. And if companies don't outright lie, they exaggerate like Nature's Bounty who has their own army of liars claiming incredbly renewed energy and health after feeling moderately more energetic. The mendacious Kathie Lee even suggests adding a useless prayer to her promo. All the liars are happily banking their ill-gained payoffs while the corporations who hire them are rolling in huge profits thinking nobody is the wiser.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p>The Cranky Copywriterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14383383796464500734noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258189418337867402.post-15567673696360387582024-02-19T09:15:00.000-08:002024-02-19T09:20:27.281-08:00THE PREMIER POISONER<p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: medium;">It's no surprise that the Bayer company is the leading maker of poisons, for fleas, weeds, all kinds of unwanted life. After all they were the German company who created the poisons to kill millions: Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, and the handicapped. Which is why I don't buy Bayer aspirin or any of their products. In fact I had to do quite a search today to find St. Joseph low-dose aspirin since all Publix had for sale was Bayer. I don't think most people know about Bayer's shameful history. I certainly have known more than one Jew who reached for Bayer at the first sign of a headache. That is until I told them to look up the company's history.</span></p><div data-hveid="CBQQAQ" style="caret-color: rgb(32, 33, 36); color: #202124; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><div aria-controls="_xIzTZb7lO42zkvQPppKd8AE_40" aria-expanded="true" class="dnXCYb" jsaction="AWEk5c" jsname="tJHJj" role="button" style="align-items: center; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; display: flex; max-height: none; outline: 0px; position: relative; width: 651.997314px;" tabindex="0"><div class="JlqpRe" jsname="lN6iy" style="flex: 1 1 0%; margin: 12px 0px; overflow: hidden;"><span class="JCzEY ZwRhJd" jsname="r4nke" style="-webkit-box-orient: vertical; -webkit-line-clamp: unset !important; display: -webkit-box; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px; overflow: hidden;"><span class="CSkcDe" face=""Google Sans", arial, sans-serif" style="line-height: 24px;"><b>Did Bayer make Zyklon B?</b></span></span></div><div class="aj35ze" jsname="Q8Kwad" style="background-image: url("data:image/svg+xml,<svg focusable=\"false\" xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path fill=\"%2370757a\" d=\"M16.59 8.59L12 13.17 7.41 8.59 6 10l6 6 6-6z\"></path></svg>"); display: inline-block; height: 24px; transform: rotateZ(180deg); width: 24px;"></div><div class="L3Ezfd" data-ved="2ahUKEwi-1-L187eEAxWNmYQIHSZJBx4Quk56BAgUEAI" jsname="pcRaIe" style="height: 47.472828px; left: 0px; position: absolute; top: 0px; visibility: hidden; width: 651.997314px;"></div></div></div><p><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="bCOlv" data-ved="2ahUKEwi-1-L187eEAxWNmYQIHSZJBx4Q7NUEegQIFBAE" id="_xIzTZb7lO42zkvQPppKd8AE_40" jsname="NRdf4c" style="caret-color: rgb(32, 33, 36); color: #202124; font-family: arial, sans-serif; opacity: inherit; position: static; width: 651.997314px;"><div class="IZE3Td" jsslot="" style="position: relative;"><div class="r2fjmd t0bRye" data-hveid="CBQQBQ" data-ved="2ahUKEwi-1-L187eEAxWNmYQIHSZJBx4Qu04oAHoECBQQBQ" jsname="oQYOj" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div id="xIzTZb7lO42zkvQPppKd8AE__8"><div class="wDYxhc NFQFxe oHglmf xzPb7d" data-hveid="CBkQAA" data-md="32" data-ved="2ahUKEwi-1-L187eEAxWNmYQIHSZJBx4Q4dMGegQIGRAA" style="clear: none;"><div class="H8O85d kno-mrg-si kno-mrg kno-swp" data-hveid="CBkQAQ" id="media_result_group" style="float: right; margin-left: 20px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative;"><div class="kno-fiu kno-liu"><div data-count="1" data-hveid="CBoQAA" jsmodel="Wn3aEc"><div jsaction="PdWSXe:h5M12e;rcuQ6b:npT2md;" jscontroller="LdB9sd" jsdata="X2sNs;_;AtQKUU" jsmodel=""><div class="RYdNQb" data-h="130" data-nr="1" data-ved="2ahUKEwi-1-L187eEAxWNmYQIHSZJBx4QyQ0oAHoECBoQAg" style="border-top-left-radius: 8px; border-top-right-radius: 8px;"><div aria-hidden="true" class="eA0Zlc WghbWd FnEtTd ivg-i PZPZlf img-kc-m GMCzAd" data-attrid="image" data-docid="bCqdadVmyO3tyM" data-hveid="CBcQAA" data-lpage="https://phys.org/news/2018-08-bayer-monsanto.html" data-ni="1" data-ref-docid="6zjhdY7-dnrzyM" data-ved="2ahUKEwi-1-L187eEAxWNmYQIHSZJBx4Qzkx6BAgXEAA" jsaction="rcuQ6b:npT2md;tuz4af:RrAr1;nptbHe:XEuVS;h5M12e;qWWJ8e:.CLIENT" jscontroller="Um3BXb" jsdata="j0Opre;bCqdadVmyO3tyM;AtQKUI" jsname="dTDiAc" style="border-radius: 12px; cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; position: relative; vertical-align: top;"><div jsname="IOBa3c"><div class="XOEbc" jsname="qQjpJ" role="button" style="outline: 0px;" tabindex="0"><div class="uhHOwf BYbUcd" data-bla="" style="height: 160px; overflow: hidden; position: relative; width: 204px;"><img alt="Five things to know about Bayer and Monsanto" data-ilt="1708362975922" jsaction="rcuQ6b:npT2md;BUYwVb:QT8fkf;LsLGHf:iSvHDf;DdQV6c:QT8fkf" jscontroller="R3fhkb" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRjONO5VFAAbxtUTs8Zcxc00hZ9OHP_zUialnjWKy-qdg&s" style="display: block; height: 160px; margin-left: -20px; transition: transform 200ms; width: 240px;" /></div></div><div class="BfmEZb" jsname="tdeeNb" style="box-sizing: border-box; height: 160px; left: 0px; pointer-events: none; position: absolute; top: 0px; width: 203.994568px;"></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div id="xIzTZb7lO42zkvQPppKd8AE__11"><div class="wDYxhc" data-md="61" style="clear: none;"><div aria-level="3" class="LGOjhe" data-attrid="wa:/description" data-hveid="CA8QAA" role="heading" style="overflow: hidden; padding-bottom: 20px;"><span class="ILfuVd" face=""Google Sans", arial, sans-serif" lang="en" style="color: #4d5156; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"><span class="hgKElc" style="padding: 0px 8px 0px 0px;">During World War II, Bayer was part of a consortium IG Farben that made the Zyklon B pesticide used in Hitler's gas chambers.

Their bigotry and sense of privilege create conflicts all over America, every day. But there's a couple far more dangerous and treacherous than them: Clem and Dora.These are the two brainless boobs you'll see at every Trump rally. They can be young or old. Withered or hearty. Attractive or, more often than not, disfigured by anger. And almost always white. Clem usually sports a MAGA baseball cap, a misogynist tee-shirt, and pro-Trump buttons or patches. Dora favors the same appalling get-up and often could be confused for Clem if not for her strident voice and garish makeup. Both of these losers are pro-Trump because they are unable to process facts and lack any sense of morality. They have no sense of the world around them and the chaos they are inviting with their stupidity. They are children playing with matches about to burn down their own home. Sadly there are millions of Doras and Clems, few of whom will wake up to their own brainlessness and see Trump for the completely amoral monster he is. Worse yet they are unlikely to realize how much he really despises every Dora and Clem, despite needing them to achieve all his dreams of power.</span></span></div><p></p>The Cranky Copywriterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14383383796464500734noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258189418337867402.post-27236139937600110872024-02-13T11:38:00.000-08:002024-03-02T08:06:39.984-08:00CAUSE OF DEATH<p><span style="font-size: large;">When I die one of these days, it won't be from poor diet of lack of exercise, or smoking or anything else. It will be caused by a telephone call to Comcast, Citi Bank, Truist Bank or some other phone call to some other incompetent customer service. All such corporations today have an automatic answering service determined to make you jump through as many hoops as possible, push endless buttons, and do everything possible to make sure you don't make contact with a human being who might solve your problem. Each such phone contact increases your blood pressure, makes you understand serial killers, and wonder how the world got so fucked up and complicated.</span></p>The Cranky Copywriterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14383383796464500734noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258189418337867402.post-27825820533258414012024-02-12T07:18:00.000-08:002024-02-12T07:18:45.992-08:00IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW<p> <b style="font-family: "New York", serif;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;

According to Republicans, I should be in my dotage, taking baby steps on my way the bathroom for the fifth time in 20 minutes. I should be incredibly forgetful and, like Trump, incontinent. But unlike Trump, and very like Biden, I am clear-headed and energetic and in excellent health. I have never driven and mostly walk to destinations. I watch the news every day and feel that if anyone is losing it, it's the house Republicans despite their age. I don't feel 81. I don't act 81. I would hate to ever become as fat, as sedentary, as bitter, as self-focused as the super narcissistic Trump with his Max-Factor face and constant malapropisms. I'm 81. I'm still in the game and while I will never be as productive as President Biden, I'm feeling fine, thinking clearly, writing imaginatively and plan to work hard on my own "Vote Blue" campaign. And while I think the world of Joe Biden, I am also a great admirer of my friend June. She's 90, but thinks just as clearly as if she were 21.</span></p>The Cranky Copywriterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14383383796464500734noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258189418337867402.post-77195851853191839962024-02-08T07:42:00.000-08:002024-02-08T07:53:14.907-08:00WHERE THE MORONIC MAJORITY RULES.<p><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK95orHByl-bbD04Zwwg60YfNVshedzCPgvOdVKyguSGhVRom0zagx9SZzxQnjAp0Q2r3hFDmNLcTQtgLk_iFyNoDQNBv9DIvvFv816MiEA03fC44lgtjH5cwt-snEG1Thq8M1UwAgOmky2deq0nNf73u8AtJCWj1BxeWO0kG7PgWcyADSCG64MKAOBCgZ/s414/Unknown.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="122" data-original-width="414" height="94" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK95orHByl-bbD04Zwwg60YfNVshedzCPgvOdVKyguSGhVRom0zagx9SZzxQnjAp0Q2r3hFDmNLcTQtgLk_iFyNoDQNBv9DIvvFv816MiEA03fC44lgtjH5cwt-snEG1Thq8M1UwAgOmky2deq0nNf73u8AtJCWj1BxeWO0kG7PgWcyADSCG64MKAOBCgZ/s320/Unknown.png" width="320" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: large;">The future of our country is in the hands of the corrupt Supreme Court. So don't expect much from this mostly biased bunch of traitors. The news keeps reminding us of their decision to hand the presidency to George Bush.You know where that led. Instead of having a decent, climate-concerned leader like Al Gore, we got two paranoid Republicans who declared war on an innocent country leading to the deaths of thousands of Iraqi men, woman and children. Some smart decision. Since Trump came down that escalator to hell, we have had nothing but chaos, trials, and unnecessary expenses based on this proven criminal's self-centered madness. My guess is the Supreme Court will allow the madness to continue and Clarence Thomas, a major traitor to the United States will rush home to his evil wife and say proudly, "I did what you wanted, dear."</span><p></p>The Cranky Copywriterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14383383796464500734noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258189418337867402.post-15639281691505024792024-02-07T08:18:00.000-08:002024-02-07T08:18:47.521-08:00IT'S ABOUT TIME!<p><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6svZns0I6xO9w1IwRmUB2QOaAs_SyHad-sL6l4ajIfHBsjuvn6fMtJNWVe1eye97qMgZMqrKX2Bs1_WTtAYCcfDi7LSRvbIwSuGvfgQS-_nZKhO01NpSLcub-tA0BvmrCZ1SYY93R06q5EBd2SzTKcdHgJ0W9l-eGnYPESzf2fVSvUDLW4PWrjJhH5JKa/s300/Unknown.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="168" data-original-width="300" height="168" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6svZns0I6xO9w1IwRmUB2QOaAs_SyHad-sL6l4ajIfHBsjuvn6fMtJNWVe1eye97qMgZMqrKX2Bs1_WTtAYCcfDi7LSRvbIwSuGvfgQS-_nZKhO01NpSLcub-tA0BvmrCZ1SYY93R06q5EBd2SzTKcdHgJ0W9l-eGnYPESzf2fVSvUDLW4PWrjJhH5JKa/s1600/Unknown.jpeg" width="300" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: large;">I am delighted that the jury found Jennifer Crumbley guilty of manslaughter and responsible in part for the school shooting of her wacko son Ethan. I have seen too many news stories of killings that could have been prevented by more watchful parents, especially those like Jenny who indulged her son with a gun. Let us hope that Daddy Crumbley faces the same fate. Of course there are still dozens of guilty parents out there that didn't face trials and looked the other way while their child built up murderous anger and an arsenal to deal with it. Add to that the careless parents who left guns lying around so their teens, tweens and toddlers could accidentally shoot to death an innocent playmate. Hopefully Jennifer will be the first of many so charged.<br /></span><p></p>The Cranky Copywriterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14383383796464500734noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258189418337867402.post-72984878408776181432024-02-07T08:01:00.000-08:002024-02-07T08:01:48.433-08:00I WORK SO MANY JOBS.<p><span style="font-size: large;"> At 81 I am supposed to be retired, but I have never been so busy working for my doctors, my banks.my computer company. Once you finally get through to your doctor after waiting for 20 minutes you get an appointment weeks away. When the time comes they call you to make sure you'll keep the appointment and if you are not home the message demands that you call them back. Reaching banks is a chore and when you do the recorded voice refuses to let you speak to a human being. In most cases I have to leave the house and go directly the distant bank to solve the problem they created. Comcast is worst of all. They continually screw up my service, pretend it's my fault, then connect me with someone in India for a 20-minute phone call. </span></p>The Cranky Copywriterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14383383796464500734noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258189418337867402.post-85835675005050994022024-02-02T10:04:00.000-08:002024-02-02T10:04:24.290-08:00ONE OF MY MANY POEMS NO ONE HAS SEEN<p><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: Times-Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Of all the judgements made on me<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: Times-Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">What left me most depressed<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: Times-Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Were not the words said in spite<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Times-Roman, serif;">But comments made in jest.</span><span style="font-family: Times-Roman, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: Times-Roman, serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span></p><p align="center" class="MsoBodyText" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18pt; margin: 0in -4.5pt 0.0001pt 4.5pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 36pt;"> </span></p>The Cranky Copywriterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14383383796464500734noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258189418337867402.post-73689152235254314352024-01-31T08:25:00.000-08:002024-01-31T08:25:09.543-08:00FAMOUS PEOPLE IN HIDING<p><span style="font-size: medium;">I wanted to communicate today with a leading writer. I knew I had valuable information she would appreciate and advice from her would greatly benefit me. But like many famous people today she is unreachable at least unless you jumped through all kinds of hoops involving passwords and an explanation of just why you wanted to communicate with this exalted person. I think celebrities make a huge mistake by becoming so unreachable. They deprive themselves of unwelcome and valuable criticism as well as ego inflating praise. They miss out on opportunities that never occurred to them. And best of all they become participants, once again, in the real world.</span></p>The Cranky Copywriterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14383383796464500734noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258189418337867402.post-39646256140299407962024-01-29T14:53:00.000-08:002024-01-29T14:53:56.719-08:00FLEETING FREEDOMS<p><span style="font-size: medium;"> Right now as an American you have lots of rights, probably more rights than citizens of any other country. Enjoy them, because if the Republicans get their way and elect Trump, you won't have them much longer. Republicans have already taken away a woman's right to her body, children's rights to read the most innocent books, and the rights for LGBQ persons to be themselves. Who are these. GOP bullies? In many cases just old, fat, pseudo-Christian bigots and homophobes who aren't smart enough to know how ignorant they are.</span></p>The Cranky Copywriterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14383383796464500734noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258189418337867402.post-81329614660299761872024-01-29T14:46:00.000-08:002024-01-29T14:46:27.546-08:00LABCORP WHERE ARE YOU?<p><span style="font-size: medium;">YesterdayI got a note from my cardiologist advising me to visit a local Labcorp and have a blood test. In looking up their locations I found that the Labcorp nearest to me was at 2601 37th Avenue. but when I called to make an appointment I got the usual jumping-through hoops runaround that ever doctor, bank, and corporation uses today to avoid ever speaking with a human customer. But since they said an appointment wasn't necessary I headed for the lab. What I didn't realize was that 37th Avenue in Miami has an insane numbering system, so after several false stops and lots of walking I reached the actual 2601 only to discover that Labcorp was not there and had moved nearly a year before. I <span> wouldn't have minded so much if I was 22, but at 81 I was to put it politely pissed off at Labcorp for leaving false information on the Internet</span> proving you can't trust anything you read on the Internet. If you have an appointment with any of the many, many Labcorp locations, I suggest you make sure it still exists.</span></p>The Cranky Copywriterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14383383796464500734noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258189418337867402.post-2450337544482201282024-01-27T14:21:00.000-08:002024-01-27T14:28:42.445-08:00A DROP IN QUALITY, NOT IN PRICE<p><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk5gQjIIFcVWV58-xtX4-H8kVyItAR0piNUEfJ0w50Vc2brFYOVQbIOHqIyGZgDut-u3EKGiyyAEDf9uxlOEuQiOSXfQUonze79MwfJnz8EbNsdBW1qkp1g4n-0iDo62RtSCkncgs15HRXzomqlEnfcqZs4E5FP4E_5v8xM1dDsESa3P_qSsYvqNc9gkym/s293/images.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="172" data-original-width="293" height="235" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk5gQjIIFcVWV58-xtX4-H8kVyItAR0piNUEfJ0w50Vc2brFYOVQbIOHqIyGZgDut-u3EKGiyyAEDf9uxlOEuQiOSXfQUonze79MwfJnz8EbNsdBW1qkp1g4n-0iDo62RtSCkncgs15HRXzomqlEnfcqZs4E5FP4E_5v8xM1dDsESa3P_qSsYvqNc9gkym/w400-h235/images.jpeg" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"> I you have a dog or cat as a pet, you have fleas. They are irritating, maddening parasites that make your pets miserable and don't do much for you. If you buy flea medicines you will note that they don't work very well or not at all. That is because fleas are becoming immune to most deterrents. That however has not stopped the greedy pharmaceutical companies from charging outrageous prices and telling even more outrageous lies about their product's effectiveness. Fleas are detestable and inevitable and hopefully someone will come up with an effective way to combat them. In the meantime you can keep getting ripped off by Revolution, Frontline and all the other scam artists or give your pets a daily bath or combing (not likely).<br /></span><p></p>The Cranky Copywriterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14383383796464500734noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258189418337867402.post-18102327752917757822024-01-22T15:28:00.000-08:002024-01-22T15:28:29.548-08:00THE MORON OR THE HARRIDAN<p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyY0ahsIFveuddVfhLCDh2pdjJwp4qG1cz3A43_KgGmNEvJd3zm_pfkZzK8p9aYy1n3xe2TsRnq018iv_L_uvMCF_6UDvvRfVB7HhU_CzeBU0Q720lcvj7z-25Oek_mZVR_GaaHxGYLSlQYHJhydSTK1f9Jav3H4RZHjE4xM1JSIX-MtWBv4Lfwa8dduBg/s310/images.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="163" data-original-width="310" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyY0ahsIFveuddVfhLCDh2pdjJwp4qG1cz3A43_KgGmNEvJd3zm_pfkZzK8p9aYy1n3xe2TsRnq018iv_L_uvMCF_6UDvvRfVB7HhU_CzeBU0Q720lcvj7z-25Oek_mZVR_GaaHxGYLSlQYHJhydSTK1f9Jav3H4RZHjE4xM1JSIX-MtWBv4Lfwa8dduBg/w400-h210/images.jpeg" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">I see where Nikki Haley is suggesting that Trump is too old and senile to serve as president. But his age has nothing to do with his incompetence. He's basically too self-centered and ignorant to consider the needs of an entire nation, and so is Haley. I have no use for people like her who lie about the value of others like Biden, a highly moral and competent leader, in order to boost their own value. In addition, I find it very annoying that she questions Trump's "mennal" value, not because he isn't a nutcase - he is - but because she can't pronounce mental which isn't all that difficult for educated people. I hope she does well in New Hampshire because it will infuriate Trump and she will remain a loser. </span><p></p>The Cranky Copywriterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14383383796464500734noreply@blogger.com0
