Incoherent Ramblings

I have a secret delight.  I like drug stores.  I always have.  I can remember going into the Revco on Main Street where a Wachovia is now and wandering the aisles.  I can remember going to Richland Mall and loitering in the Eckerd.  Really, what isn’t to like?  The pharmacies have so much stuff in them!  I love new pharmacies too.  Kelli and I just recently hit the new Rite-Aid in Five Points (located in the former Eckerd).  We are already on a first name basis with the cashiers. They have a lot of fun stuff in this Rite-Aid.  I highly recommend it.

In college Amy Jo and I would go to a 24 hour Eckerd that was by the round Holiday Inn.  We would just wander around and buy random shit.  I still do it.  Last night, Annie and I wandered around the Walgreen’s for a while. There is always such random stuff in pharmacies.  I have bought make up, slippers, tee shirts, garden tools, hoses, seeds, cups, magazines, snacks, cameras, flip fops, hair care products, nail polish, beach chairs, coolers.  I mean the list could go on and on.

I am on a first name basis with my CVS pharmacist.  I have followed him from Five Points to Main Street to Forest Drive and now, to Assembly Street.  He is awesome.  James is better than my doctor.  He knows what pills I have taken that I thought worked well or that gave me problems.  He always tells me about knew stuff and when my pills are going generic.   He always helped me out with THE HOBB’s medications and any drug interaction problems.  I am pretty sure that if he moved to Charlotte or something, I’d follow him.  It’s awesome to have  a regular pharmicist.  When I have run out of refills, he’ll spot me a couple of pills to get me over until the doc calls it in.

One good thing about CVS is that they always put a lot of stuff on serious mark downs.  They always have good mark downs after holidays pass.  Once, Gramma and I bought a shit load of Christmas stuff because we just happened to show up as they were marking things down to 90% off.  She racked up.  I think I still have some wrapping paper she bought then.

Lately, all of these pharmacies have the AS SEEN ON TV aisle.  I LOVE THIS. This past Friday, I actually got to handle a Shake Weight a.k.a. The Hand Job Trainer.

Anyway, just one more dirty secret I have shackled in my closet.
