Ok, I missed the news of the Beetlejuice Boebert video showing her being a danger to children by performing a lewd sex act in a public theatre when she groped/fondled/played with her male friend in the theater.

Former Virginia representative Denver Riggleman wrote that “Lauren Boebert seems a bit confused about Freedom Caucus members telling her to ‘reach across the aisle.’”

The only skills that Boebert has is waving her finger up in the air as an angry "victim." The other skill would require me to CW and I ain't in the mood.

Boebert seen here confronting, and acting like a fool, to theater workers who had to throw her out for causing a disturbance with her bad behavior. #USPol

I hate my pharmacy. Well, I love THEM but hate their website for refills. Their app, too.

Whatever computer system and software they use, it must be old.

It's a small-town #AppalachianOhio pharmacy, over 100 years old &same family. It even has an old fashion soda bar in operation.

When they shut their computers down at night, so does the ability access your prescriptions.

You can fill out a secure form and do refills but you can't access your scripts until they turn them back on at 7:30am.
