Wegman's giving away free antibiotics
Wegmans offering free antibiotics
-Sharon Linstedt


Just in time for "cough and cold" season, Wegmans Food Markets will offer free antibiotics throughout its 72-store chain.

The Rochester-based supermarket chain announced today it will give away free 14-day supplies of nine categories of oral antibiotics starting tomorrow through March 31.

Wegmans CEO Danny Wegman said the free antibiotics program will help customers with health and economic issues.

"We understand the economic pressure families are facing, including the rising cost of health care, which is something I'm especially concerned about," Wegman said in a statement.

The drug program is expected to save consumers approximately $1 million in out-of-pocket medicine expenses.

Participants in the Wegmans program must have a new or existing prescription for the antibiotic and a Shopper's Club card. There is no limit to the number of prescriptions that can be filled.

The list of free drugs includes Amoxicillin, Cephalexin, Sulfamethoxazole/Trimethoprim, Ciprofloxacin, Penicillin VK, Ampicillin, Tetracycline, Erythromycin Sterate/Ethysuccinate and Doxycycline.

Late last month Ahold-owned supermarket chains Stop & Shop and Giant Foods announced similar goodwill programs that began Jan. 2 and run through March 31.

Not to be a debbie downer, but you SHOULD be afraid of the superbugs. There are a few super-resistant strains already, that are only sensitive to ONE antibiotic- and resistant strains of that have been found. I.e. bacteria that CANNOT BE KILLED by ANY of the antibiotics currently made. Yes, be afraid. Be very afraid.
james - 01/09/09 11:58
eh, I am not afraid of super bugs coming out of people directly taking antibiotics.

Now all the antibiotics they give to animals so they can survive on meat-factory farms? That freaks the shit right out of me.
mike - 01/09/09 11:38
lets just create those super bugs even faster! I just think that this just is gonna make people get antiobiotics for things that they actually don't even help or don't really need even more. They'll figure eh its free, who cares. And we all know doctors who will write antibioitics for anything just to please people. I don't agree with it. In mind of full disclosure I work for the competition Rite Aid as you know but I seriously do feel this way!
libertad - 01/06/09 19:36
When I first started reading that I was like Oh wow they are just giving people antibiotics as if it were candy and then i read the part abuot a prescription. Come and get your free antibiotics and self treat yourself and your sexually transmitted diseases!
jenks - 01/06/09 16:08
but fyi- none of those will do anything for a cold. Even if they're free. ugh.
jenks - 01/06/09 16:08
Ok you just almost gave me a heart attack.

But you said they do still need a prescription?

Ok then.

upgrade to Little Steel Tonight vibrator
apparently the secret santa gift that provided so much entertainment at the party can be quite expensive. maybe i can upgrade next year.


EURYTHMICS star DAVE STEWART is creating a buzz again - by launching a diamond-studded sex toy costing £1,000.
The 56-year-old music legend worked with a specialist adults-only firm to devise and market the Little Steel Tonight vibrator.

It is made of solid steel with a "satin finish" and a band of 28 diamonds - but bizarrely has a guitar pick attached and the lyrics from Stewart's latest solo song, Let's Do It Again, scrawled on it.

Owners also get a code that allows them to download the tune.

Married dad-of-four Stewart had a string of hits, including Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This), with Eurythmics singer ANNIE LENNOX.

His Rock Fabulous range with firm Jimmyjane also includes the £100 vibrator Little Chroma Tonight.

Jimmyjane describes the Little Steel as "the ultimate backstage pass" and boasts: "Our vibrators are the world's quietest - all the better to enjoy the music."




lilho - 01/02/09 20:31
you should show up again before i leave on monday!
metalpeter - 01/02/09 19:51
Well from what I saw it did cause fun at the party, hopefully you have a lot more fun with it. I read that article and that sounds like a lot to me. But I can tell you what the next step might be (assuming their isn't one all ready) You will be able to download some songs onto it and then the vibrator will move at the speed of the song or where the base comes in. I can just Imagine the Metallica one now with the name made out of diamonds with lighting bolts, ha.

hillary clinton
clinton finally wrote back to my email. here is her response.


Dear Ms. *********:



Thank you for sharing your views on the state of the auto industry. I appreciate your concern and I welcome the opportunity to respond.



The auto manufacturing sector has been devastated by the recent economic crisis. Frozen consumer and commercial credit and sharply declining sales have pushed U.S. automakers to the edge of bankruptcy. According to one estimate, almost three million American jobs are tied to the Big Three automakers. The collapse of the domestic auto industry would have a ripple effect that would be immediately felt by New York's nearly 98,000 auto manufacturing-related workers and the many suppliers and dealers throughout the state and the entire nation. Moreover, a collapse would have a destructive impact on our economy.



It is profoundly disappointing that the measure on the floor of the Senate last week was blocked. It would have provided critical assistance for American automakers and the millions of workers whose jobs are directly and indirectly in jeopardy. Millions of Americans, whose livelihoods are in jeopardy, are left to wait over the holidays to see whether their jobs will be saved.



This is a difficult time for America and for American families. Our economy has been buffeted by turmoil in the financial markets and the growing mortgage crisis, resulting in - and compounded by - severe job losses and a deepening sense of anxiety across this country. Inaction is not an acceptable option. I have called for the current administration to use the tools at its disposal to keep our automakers afloat, including using the authority given to the Treasury Secretary to stabilize our markets and troubled companies. In the long term, we must pursue economic policies that will not only create jobs but create the incentives for these companies and many others to lead our nation and the world in developing innovative technologies that will shape our future and ensure our prosperity.



Again, thank you for your letter regarding the auto industry and our economic challenges ahead. For updates, please check my website at .


Sincerely,

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton

THEY FOUND THE BODY!!!!
OMG they finally found the body of a small child about half a block from the anthony home that they believe is of little caylee marie anthony, the child of the florida mom who didn't report her gone until the grandmother forced her to call the cops when she found out the child has been allegedly missing for over a month!

i'm sure you guys have heard about this case in the news and i've written about is a few times. i didn't think they were ever going to find the body so this development is fantastic. i though this bitch had a chance to get away with this murder because there was no body to strengthen the prosecution's case, but now, there is no way that she's getting with it.

the prosecution this week announced that they were not going to ask for the death penalty because there was no body and their case would have been too weak, but now they have all they need.

here is the news report



i have been obsessed with this case for so long. it's been so crazy because of all the evidence that has been made public. there are about 2000 pages of evidence, transcripts, text messages, phone records, IM's, forensic reports, etc. as well as taped phone conversations, video's of interviews, jail visits, surveillance tapes, etc.

i guess florida has these sunshine laws that allows for the public to request to see information regarding trials. i don't know how it's possible but just about everything the state has against casey anthony is public, and i mean, EVERYTHING....thousands and thousands of documents.

did you know that most times when a child is murdered they are disposed of within 3 blocks of the child's home? in her taped jail visits with her parents and brother, casey kept saying, "i know she's near by, i can feel her, she's close...it's my gut feeling.....it still feels like she's close to home". just go and listen to her phone calls....the bitch is a cold hearted murderer.

here is a news station that has a lot of the documents stored on one page. but if anyone wants to really see the real documents, let me know, i have all of them downloaded and stored on my computer.
