Janis,

Last night we had a file come through Legion FDN with a long file name:

legl0050-64.zip

I'm contacting Jon to let him know that he has to send out a new file with JK>replace and with an 8X3 filename.

Reminds me of the cartoon, where the dachshund is uncontrollably up on
his haunches, and the woman yells to her husband "Hey, lover boy!! You
dropped one of your Viagra tablets on the floor again"!! <G>

I guess "Filename Viagra" started with Windows 95. :P

Dachshunds rarely sit on their haunches for an extended period of
time (and shouldn't be allowed to do such), as it's back for their
backs. Viagra is for erectile dysfunction, so when the weiner dog (slang
for dachshund) swallowed the pill, it did the same thing to him that
Viagra is designed to do to "a weiner". :P

actually not... viagra was originally designed as a blood pressure regulator medicine... it didn't work out so well in that aspect and erections were one of
the side effects... later on, they decided to bring it out as a medicine for sex... they had to invent the "erectile dysfunction disease" verbiage so they could legally call viagra a "medicine"... you cannot have a medicine without a disease and you cannot have a disease without a medicine... /that's/ why everything these days is called a "disease" even when it isn't... just another thing to thank the lawyers for...

Yeah, it's insane the "diseases" the industry comes up with to front the medication du jour... You see it so often these days.

I have doubts as to the true desire of some of the drug companies to want to eliminate some diseases or ailments. I mean if they were to make drugs that would cure or stop a disease they (In their business mind) would make less money. Same with the possible side effects of some of the advertised drugs. Often times the "Possible" side effects are alot worse than what the drug was made to help with. I recall a recent news piece where a drug company raised the
price of one of there drugs from $13.50 to $750. According to the drug company
the price increase was due marketing costs.

Can anyone tell I don't have really positive attitude toward drug companies?


Went to the doctor today. They said my blood pressure was quite high. I wonder if taking LARGE quantities of Viagra would help?? <g>

Yes, the drug companies don't want to 'cure diseases', they'd have nothing :)

Often times the "Possible" side effects are alot worse than what the drug was >made to help with.

That is so true.. Ron and I catch commercials for various medicines now and again and can't believe the side-effects listed for some of them :(

I recall a recent news piece where a drug company raised th
price of one of there drugs from $13.50 to $750. According to the drug compan
the price increase was due marketing costs.

Then there is the creep, Martin Shkreli..who did that exact thing first (IIRC) with a cancer drug, Dataprim... how sick.

Can anyone tell I don't have really positive attitude toward drug companies?

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Lol :)

Take care,
Janis

Mark,

could legally call viagra a "medicine"... you cannot have a medicine without ML>disease and you cannot have a disease without a medicine... /that's/ why ML>everything these days is called a "disease" even when it isn't... just anoth ML>thing to thank the lawyers for...

I saw a deal on Facebook, where 2 individuals from a pharmaceutical
research firm were having a conversation. The woman says to her male
co-worker "If we could find a cure for [insert illness here], we'd be
the greatest thing since sliced bread". To which, he replies "By NOT
finding a cure for [insert illness here], is how we continually butter
our bread".

Without some sort of prescription drug plan, you're screwed. I went to
buy a 2 pack Epi-Pen (I'm allergic to stinging insects), and with my
insurance, the cost was $8 -- without insurance, it would've been over
$500!!

They say the cost is for research, but a lot of that is likely also in
ads in magazines, publications, and on both radio and television.

Comedian Jeff Foxworthy did a skit on "prescription side
effects"...because with many of the medicines today, the side effects
are WORSE than what the medicine is designed to treat!! In one instance,
"Side effects may include death" -- well, WHAT am I taking it for??

That video is on YouTube -- search for Jeff Foxworthy Prescription
Side Effects -- it's around 2 1/2 minutes long.

Comedian Jeff Foxworthy noted "When I was growing up, there were only
2 medicines...aspirin and Camphopenque". Nowadays, the side effects on
the medicines are WORSE than what they're designed to treat (i.e. "side
effects may include death" -- WTH??!!). :P

Search for Jeff Foxworthy Prescription Side Effects on YouTube...it's
about 2 1/2 minutes, and it's a scream.

Oh yeah.. Ron was given a prescription for migraines once that actually said that it "may cause death", but in much prettier words LOL Darn, I wish I could
rememeber how they said it :) :) I wouldn't let him take it (meanie, I know, but I wasn't willing to lose him <grin>) Instead, I found the triggers that were causing them a lot of the time, and we avoided them :)

It sure is, thanks for that :) I also listened to his "Kids Versus Old Folks" way too funny :)

Good stuff, thanks again :)
