i have a lovely long black coat a friend gave me the winter before last. not exactly a trench coat, but very trench coat-lookin'.+1 -
Jacqueline Hyde:
i think she felt sorry for me because she knew i didn't have much of a female wardrobe at the time, and i wore a rather thin jacket that all my then-co-workers would remark on and ask how i wasn't freezing, and i'd always have to explain that it's much warmer than it looks.+1

Jacqueline Hyde:
@Morgan ohhhhh is it the prescription part of pharmacies that's foreign to you? i thought you meant the general "walgreens has a bunch of makeup and skincare stuff" part
-
Morgan:
@Jacqueline Hyde, it's the sheer size of a pharmacy. You have seemingly entire malls dedicated to what is essentially a dispensary. -
Jacqueline Hyde:
@Morgan ahh, i see. our "pharmacy" chains tend to be mini-marts with a pharmacy in back. that's what's odd?
-
Jacqueline Hyde:
it does amuse me that for some odd legal reason, presumably related to that, rite aid can't call itself rite aid pharmacy anymore. now it's just rite aid, with the word pharmacy underneath and in small print "DEPARTMENT WITHIN"
-
Jacqueline Hyde:
i guess i didn't realize boots and its ilk weren't as big as cvs/walgreens/rite aid

(I remember what a novelty it was when Walgreens started springing up around Anchorage a few years ago, to the point it made the front page of the news one day.) -
Morgan:
Although healthcare in the United States is more of the responsibility of its citizen and not its government. Perhaps that's why pharmacies are like shopping complexes.
