I've been on it for years, but a few months ago I moved to a new city, and only have the bare minimum of insurance at the moment. The prescription reimbursement plan is a joke and only pays me back a lousy 20 bucks. Until I have insurance again, I'm paying full price. But why is it SO EXPENSIVE? Under my old insurance I was paying a lovely $40 co-pay. The first time paying full price was a doozy. Then the next month it had gone up again! Then a couple months later, UP AGAIN!!! It's now a whopping $140. WHY??? Does anyone know? I can't find anything on the Internet as to why the price keeps skyrocketting. And no, I don't want to switch pills. I like this one. It works for me. And I thought the new health care laws were supposed to make this better for people in my situation.

Does anyone have any good answers?

I recently learned of this makeup and it sounds like a very good brand. I'd like to try it, but I can only find it to order online. I'd like to see it in person before I buy. I can't judge the skin tone shades very well by my computer monitor. Any idea if a major department store or outlet mall sells it?

Does anyone else remember this? It may have been Cream of Wheat, but I'm not sure. As a kid, I loved this oatmeal that had surprise little gummy bears or some sort of chewy sweet thing in it. Once you added the hot water or milk, you'd start to see them and it was fun to eat. Anyone remember this? Can you still buy it somewhere?

I saw the episode where the only way for Juliet to escape the museum before the sun rose was to become a slave to the mummy. Then, a couple of weeks ago I saw a newer episode, Moving On, where they all talked about Juliet leaving when she turned 2,000 years old and hobbled off into the forrest, never to return again. What the heck? I'm now confused. What did I miss? Or is the show trying to create a new exit for Juliet after the fact?

I'm thinking of being Barbie for Halloween, and I would like to find the original outfit Barbie came in when she debuted...the black and white striped swimsuit. All I can find online is some 60s hippie looking costume and the Spotlight Barbie costume. Any ideas?

I have thought about going into teaching Creative Writing at the junior college level. However, I only minored in creative writing in college because at the time, I was seeking something in advertising. I assume I need to go back and gain enough credits to have a major in this subject first? And then do I have to have a master's to teach at the junior college level? And finally, if you are a teacher, what's it like teaching this subject? I remember I enjoyed my classes, but I'd like the prospective from the teacher now. Thanks!

I tried Hulu already and it's not there. I also tried YouTube and I can't get any Vincent Prices skits to come up in the search. Does anyone know where I can find these or maybe just why they're not up?

Unbelievable as it sounds, I have never owned an iPod. I had an MP3 player once. It was a gift. It didn't last long before becoming a useless paper weight. Although, it could've just been that brand. I don't know. But before I go out and buy anything new, I'd like to know which is really better for music and maybe videos. Also, battery power and longevity, does it hold up, memory space, etc.

I've passed out twice in my life and each time I started dreaming. Of course, I didn't realize I'd passed out until I came to but it was much more disorienting because I'd been dreaming and didn't know what was going on at first. I talked to a friend about it and he said that he started dreaming when he passed out once at the doctor's. So why is that?

I originally thought it was by They Might Be Giants, but I checked the list of all their songs and searched lyrics and couldn't find it. So I don't know if it just wasn't listed or if it's not their song.

It's an up-beat fast-paced song. It starts out like this: (and the words in parenthesis are the ones I'm not sure about. I can't understand some of the words the guy sings)

"Not quite a femmebot, but almost an alien. She's in the smell of (my clothes), I feel it in my lungs. Let's (pay) a chunky funky slam-dunk cosmonaut. Well, laser guns and other fun by a logical parking lot. All systems down."

Both are hilarious movies with tons of quotable lines. But which is your fave?

My Western Zodiac is Pisces and my Chinese Zodiac is the year of the Dog. And I found in a book once that there are different elements for each Chinese Zodiac too, and I happen to be the year of the Water Dog. How cool is that? I'm a water sign in both astrologies! And if you're curious, 1982 is the year of the water dog.
