Since I was required to make a doctors appointment in order to buy parts for my CPAP machine, and since such an appointment was probably going to cost me about $200, I decided to buy my CPAP parts on line.  But just out of curiosity, I asked how much they charged for a new air hose.  They told me $45. When I told them that I could buy that very air hose from Amazon with out a prescription for $8.99 plus shipping, they were shocked.  And since the doctors office seemed to be marking everything up by 500 %, I figured that the $15 face mask on Amazon would cost $75 at the doctors office.  So Amazon cost including shipping $30.  Doctors office cost including doctors appointment, $320.  Caveat Emptor.  No wonder insurance rates are so high.

After several years of use, my CPAP machine needed a new hose and face mask.  And since the office of my sleep doctor has a parts counter, I decided to stop by and pick up a few parts.  But when I got there, they told me that my prescription to buy parts had expired and that I would need to make an appointment with my doctor in order to get a new prescription for CPAP parts.  RATS!!!

While attending a rodeo a few weeks ago, the announcer asked for the owner of a black Ford pickup with a beer sticker in the back window to please move the truck.  While the announcer did not have a plate number, I am sure that there was only one black Ford pickup truck with a beer sticker in the back window at the rodeo.

While the bottle listed high fructose corn syrup as an ingredient, the nutrition label listed 0 grams of carbohydrates and 0 grams of sugar.  I guess high fructose corn syrup must fall into a different category.

While the hulls are colored, the contents are not.  But if people are will to pay for it, I guess it doesn’t really matter.

I went into the ethnic food section of our grocery store to buy some enchilada sauce.  But I discovered that the ethnic food section had Mexican, Authentic Mexican and Hispanic foods.  I found the enchilada sauce but I don’t remember whether is was Mexican, Authentic Mexican or Hispanic.

New gun laws recently enacted in California restricts the sale of “long guns” to only one per person per month.  Somehow, this laws appears to be more show and nothing else.

According to a news report, the West Nile Virus has been found in Michigan.  Unfortunately, interest in the West Nile Virus has been replaced with the Ziki Virus.

The paper and wire lawn sign on the side of the road was advertising that steel erectors were wanted.  Somehow, I can’t imagine that Grand Rapids has a lot of steel erectors.

A former co-worker of mine is very fashion conscience.  She goes out of her way to make sure that she only wears designer clothing.  Unfortunately, most people don’t notice the designer labels unless she points them out.
