The True Purpose of Pharmacy Alligation

I've discovered the true purpose of alligation. 

This is a method for solving solution problems. Here's an example:

How many mL of water must be added to 300 mL of 70% alcohol solution to make a 40% alcohol solution?



So what is the true purpose of learning alligation? 

So you can help your kids when they have to do the same questions when they take Algebra. That's it. That's the ONLY reason.

Casino Conundrum

I've blogged about Levaquin Lady several times. She's still around, getting her regimen of Levaquin 750mg twice daily. I've decided her doctor works for the CIA or something and she's part of some superbug experiment to eliminate extraneous voters. Seriously, though, I'd like to say this is going to turn our well, but it's not. You can't just keep giving someone Levaquin for YEARS and not have something awful happen.

Last December, Levaquin Lady's son was in to pick up their round of Levaquin along with some other medications and was singing the blues about their lack of money with Christmas just around the corner. Oh please, Mr. Pharmacist man, can't you do something? You remember the story. Here's a LINK to it.

Later I found out Levaquin Lady was sporting a new hairdo from an expensive salon and admitted to paying for it herself. Today her son admitted that they go to the casino all the time.

What?!

Yes, I heard him correctly. They can't afford their medication and beg for better deals from the pharmacy, BUT they have money for expensive salon visits and casino trips. You know what, I'll let the salon visit go. Maybe that was a one-time thing and a little confidence booster for someone needing a lift. But continued visits to the casino and asking for rock bottom prices at the pharmacy?

This is Good News

Texting with my older son has revealed that he's been paying attention to my sarcastic wit all these years:
