Due to weather we ended up not going to the casino yesterday. Instead we took sister out to dinner at a nice restaurant for her birthday. In an added note, yesterday at four-thirty in the morning I was startled awake by the loudest thunder I have ever heard. It was so loud that I thought it was a car accident in front of my house. I ran outside in my skivvies only to we rained upon.
First story up is one of those good dog stories,

Next up is some really good news on the prescription medication front.

QUOTE
Lillian Wald authored yesterday's quote. Today's quote, "women speak because they wish to speak, whereas a man speaks only when driven to speech by something outside himself - like, for instance, he can't find any clean socks " came from an author born in 1922 and died in 2003. If you have been give the advise, " PLEASE DON'T EAT THE DAISIES" then you can tell me who authored today's quote.

Amazing what dogs can sniff out!
A big YAY about more drugs coming out as generics. I was sort of wondering what the drug companies would do to keep getting our money when that happened. My prediction was that they'd come out with similar drugs and promote the heck out of them so everybody would want the new one, not the generic. Maybe they will, maybe not. Unfortunately, their lower income may inhibit real research. More good news is that the drug companies will probably stop advertising drugs that have generic rivals. I don't think they should be able to advertise so much in the first place, so this is a Good Thing.
Gee whiz, no time travel? What a disappointment. {g} But I imagine some people will continue to believe in spite of actual science. I woke up in the middle of the night last night, turned on the radio and heard a few minutes of serious discussion of how more people are believing in aliens among us now. These guys figure that when the government(s) admit they've known this for years, everything will change for the better. They're calling it the pre and post-"disclosure" worlds.
Hi Pat
I am fast becoming a fan of dogs!
I was really pleased to see that the drug companies patents are about to expire. They made way to much money before. I agree with you about drug companies being banned from advertising although often their ads scare me away from a drug because they have to say the side effects.
You would have ever thought that we can't time travel? I wonder if the aliens can time travel? If they can get the government to admit anything then they have to be from outerspace.

Great dog story. More and more research is showing dogs (and other pets) become attuned to their owners and can be trained to deal with changes in chemistry or behavior.
Big YEA on the prescription drugs. It will make a huge difference to many, especially the elderly and those on fixed incomes. Mom will definitely benefit, as she always falls into the donut hole about August or September. Sigh.
Time travel - I always considered it science fiction. But I agree with the idea that if anyone can make gov't speak truth, it's gonna have to be aliens. Lord knows the citizens haven't been able to accomplish the feat!
Hi DR
I remember whenever I got sick, Katie wouldn't leave my side and wouldn't even demand to be feed until I got up. They do sense things, she also once predicted an earthquake.
I am really happy about the prescription drugs. My mom also hits the donut hole so she will get big time help.
I think the government might have told the truth once but I don't really remember.
Bill
