    I'd stick with Walgreens clinics......CVS has began to use Qwest for their outside lab and they are outrageous. We have a health savings account with a 5800 deductible so I price everything to save all I can.......Walgreens still uses LabCorp which is very, very reasonable........Strep test w/Qwest in December $122........with LabCorp in january, $69. That's for sending it out after a negative result in the clinic. First time visits are $59.....

    I needed this thread this morning......Makes me feel as if my only child husband has brothers out there somewhere!! My mother in law is EVIL......for 17 years I've done a very good job of being a daughter in law - to the point of my husband commenting that he was so amazed because most people didn't get along with their inlaws.......I listened to up to 5 phone calls a day after my (now 11 year old) son was born about how she had my husband on cereal at 5 weeks, about how my husband was completely potty trained at 15 months (my son was a slower potty trainer), I can't have a relationship with any of my husbands fathers family without "betraying" her, I don't fold towels/socks/underwear properly, I don't boil sweet potato's in their skins, "Oh, eggs again" was a comment when I cooked breakfast, etc., etc. Well, I have had it and so has my husband when she crossed the line by jumping out of a moving car after my son made an innocent remark when we were visiting them in July. Now, according to other family members, I've made our relationship "difficult" because I told her she would not act like that in front of my son - who had resulting nightmares that his grandmother was killed when doing that. She called to sing me happy birthday on the 18th of Jan, then proceeded to want to rehash the July trip until I started crying. Since my husband heard me tell her multiple times that I didn't want to have the discussion, that it was my birthday and I wanted to go out to lunch with my guys, he told her to never call me again......

    John the Toilet Shot, Laid to Rest

     

    Saturday, January 31, 2009

     

     

    CENTERVILLE, Utah — John, a porcelain commode gunned down in an accidental shooting at a fast food restaurant's bathroom, has died. His age was not immediately known.

     

    The toilet was shattered by a bullet Jan. 12 when a man's gun fell from its holster as he was pulling up his pants, police said. Police do not plan to file criminal charges in connection with the incident.

     

    Christian Martinez, manager of the Carl's Jr. where John was gunned down, held a memorial service Friday at the restaurant. He gave away bottles of John's favorite toilet cleaner, Kaboom Bowl Blaster, to the eatery's first 50 patrons.

     

    A Bountiful flower shop provided a large floral arrangement.

     

    "In all my years, I can say without a doubt that I have never delivered for a toilet," said deliveryman Doug Graham, "but I thought it was the funniest thing I've ever heard. I got a kick out of it."

     

    Remnants of John hit and cut the gun owner's arm, but he was not seriously injured.

     

    Police blamed John's death on the gun and style of holster the man was using.

     

    "He was survived by the men's urinal and wash sink," said Martinez. "He left us way too soon."

     

    Existing home sales in surprise jump

    NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The number of existing homes sold in December rose 6.5% from the previous month, according to a report released Monday, as bargain hunters took advantage of plummeting prices.

     

    The National Association of Realtors said that home sales increased to a seasonally-adjusted, annualized rate of 4.74 million units. That's up from a revised pace of 4.45 million units sold in November and more than the rate of 4.4 million units projected by a consensus of industry analysts as reported by Briefing.com.

     

    "We have some months to go before we are out of the woods on the housing front," said Robert Dye, senior economist at PNC financial services group. Especially considering "weak consumer confidence and ongoing rapid deterioration in labor markets."

     

    Still, December's existing home sales are down 3.5% compared with December of 2007, when the seasonally-adjusted, annual sales rate was 4.91 million. Existing homes include single family homes, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops.

     

    For all of 2008, there were 4,912,000 homes sold, which was the lowest volume since 1997, when there were 4,371,000 homes sold. Sales volume in 2008 was down 13.1% from the 5,652,000 existing homes sold in 2007.

     

    Bargain hunters: Bargain prices are bringing buyers back into the market. The median existing home price was down 15.3% to $175,400 from December 2007, when the median price was $207,000. The median price measures where half of the homes sold for more and half sold for less.

     

    "Americans love a bargain, and the housing market is no exception," said Mike Larson, real estate and interest rate analyst for Weiss Research in a written statement.

     

    Thanks to the sales increase, the number of homes available on the market decreased 11.7% in December from the previous month, to 3.68 million. That represents a 9.3-month inventory supply at the current pace of sales, down from a 11.2-month supply in November.

     

    "That's exactly what we need to see if the housing market is ever going to get back to a state of equilibrium," said Larson.

     

    Home prices were pushed lower by the high volume of distressed sales, which accounted for 45% of December transactions according to the report.

     

    "The higher monthly sales gain and falling inventory are steps in the right direction, but the market is still far from normal, balanced conditions," said NAR chief economist Lawrence Yun in a written statement. He warned that the housing market is far from healthy. "Buyers will continue to have an edge over sellers for the foreseeable future."

     

    Surge in the West: The number of homes sold nationwide was buoyed by a surge in the West, where the housing market has been hardest hit by a record number of foreclosures.

     

    Existing home sales in the West surged 13.6% to an annual rate of 1.25 million in December, up 31.6% from a year ago. But the median price in the West was $213,100, down 31.5% from December 2007.

     

    In the South, existing home sales increased 7.4% to an annual pace of 1.74 million in December, but that was still 11.2% lower than December a year ago. And sales in the Midwest increased 4% in December to an annual rate of 1.04 million, but were down 10.3% from the same period last year.

     

    The Northeast saw sales edge 1.4% lower, to an annual pace of 720,000 in December, down 14.3% from December 2007.

     

    In the months to come: Analysts said that the weakening job market would slow any recovery in housing.

     

    On Monday morning, a slew of companies announced a massive wave of job cuts. Home Depot (HD, Fortune 500), the No. 1 home improvement retailer, announced it would eliminate 7,000 jobs, or 2% of its total workforce, while Caterpillar (CAT, Fortune 500) said it will cut 20,000 jobs.

     

    "Unfortunately, we are seeing fast and furious [layoffs] now," said PNC's Robert Dye. "And that does add to the level of uncertainty and it does put workers and consumers on edge."

     

    Mike Larson from Weiss Research echoed that sentiment. "It's hard to imagine a lasting turn in the housing market with thousands of layoffs being announced every few days," he said.

     

    The Obama administration is now at work on an economic recovery plan, and Yun said that this will be critical to the revitalization of the housing industry.

     

    "The Obama administration and Congress need to move fast to stimulate a spring sales upturn which will help to stabilize home prices and set the foundation for a sustainable economic recovery," Yun said in a statement. To top of page
