please remember that just because something is "over-the-counter" or "all natural" doesn't mean it's safe
example #1:
acetaminophen (tylenol) is over-the-counter and can cause liver failure and death
example #2:
lava is "all natural" but is widely regarded as too hot to eat
The moment we Christians start looking for an authoritarian “strongman” to lead us is the moment we stop looking for the One who leads by washing feet, who rides a donkey instead of a warhorse and who tells his followers to put away their swords and take up their crosses instead.
I think I’m 30 going on 90. I just want to say whatever I’m thinking, go to bed early, do what I want, and for people just to go, “Well, that’s Rachel. She’s 30, after all.” Instead, I have to behave. That shit’s overrated.
I think it should be a pre-req for pharmacy students to work in the busiest chain pharmacy in their local district. At a peak time. With a call out. For multiple days. While maintaining a good attitude. It’d weed out more people than kinetics.
I didn’t have a treat for my patient’s dog at the drive thru today, and it was the worst feeling. We give them out at my store, and the boxer was clearly expecting it. Can I mail something to a random dog? Serious question.
If our Christianity causes us to look at how a poor person spends their welfare check with inherent suspicion all while we look at how the exorbitantly rich accumulate mass amounts of wealth with inherent admiration, we need a grand reversal.
“The apostles remembered what many modern Christians tend to forget—that what makes the gospel offensive isn’t who it keeps out but who it lets in.” -Rachel Held Evans
This was true for Philip. May it be true for us.
To the creepy guy that slowed down to call out and “flirt” across the parking lot… All you succeeded in doing was freaking me out. No girl is gonna swoon at that move. #NotOkay#WhyIsThisStillAThing
I’ve been LP, Lauren, and sometimes, Ms. Peters. I am a sister with pride, and a very special lady called me her granddaughter. In 2011 a group of seniors named me Pete, and I’ve embraced it for the last decade.
Starting today, my new favorite name is AUNT. 💙💙💙
It’s 2021. If you don’t want to quit smoking, fine. But please for the love of God, your pharmacy staff who are allergic, and your dog who was in the car with you, don’t smoke in the drive-thru window at the pharmacy.

Pharmacies are also understaffed. We don’t make up prices. We don’t hide info. We actually are trying to help you. Also, just btw, we probably haven’t peed or drank water in a long time. A smile and patience go a long way. Be kind.
