It's Goodrx.com  not Goodrex

The place to check is pharmacychecker.com  I've used several companies over the past decade with zero issues (other than one who took 5 weeks to deliver the meds).  I always check who the pharmacy is and search their qualifications.

Cipla is a common supplier, very high quality, a med bought here at $20/40/tablet from India 0.50 to $2- there, it's sick.   Also suggest to your friend if he needs, for instance xx milligrams (let's say 40mg) per day, will the doc allow writing a script for the 80mg/day dose, and can it be cut in half?  

Heck I do that with rosuvastatin.  My doc however acts as pharmacop and so I say: yes I take 20mg, in reality I cut them into 1/3.  But you cannot do this with some meds!  I have access to lipid blood testing equipment so I played around cutting it into 1/4 for 2 months, so taking 5mg, then 2 months later, 10, then 2 months later 15.  After a dozen fingersticks I settled on 1/3 (that's about 6.3mg)  My HDL:LDL ration is about 2.2 which is brilliant.  If your friend is smart enough to act like a weasel he can get his meds for a small fraction but he must do it carefully.

Good luck,

No response necessary.

Btw, I have dry eye syndrome and use Restasis.  My co-pay was $550/3 months, I bought it from one of the Canadian pharmacies for $130 shipped... that's sick when I can buy from a legitimate pharma for 25% of my co-pay.  Yikes.

"The way it’s delivered is obviously questionable. But, I’d rather have a “seminar” that teaches people about VAWA and how to not be victimized, than nothing at all.

i remember my biggest takeaway from CFO was that I should talk about finances with my new husband. That I should sort that out and make sure I have a say in it. And we did, and that has prevented a whole lot of confusion about money in our 6 years of marriage.

But then again, CFO is merely a harm reductive measure. I’m not deluded that it’s perfect. Real change to stop trafficking and abuse needs to go beyond just the relationship level. And attending CFO is not gonna stop abusive people from abusing Filipinos."

I am so impressed with you writing skill, and simply wanted to say that.  Perfect grammar, perfect word use--just eloquent.  Two thumbs up!  Nowadays even most American grads cannot write so eloquently. 

That's all I wanted to say though I'd be curious as to what field you are in, or intend to be in?  But a response is not necessary.

Thank you for the offer.  I think we have enough time to send it via DHL.  

Excellent point!

Thank you for your post Hank about "accepting assets."

I'm past the age that I could retire, but why retire when your benefits increase at about 8% per year?  They'll have to drag me kicking and screaming away from work, assuming that I like my next job....

Thanks for the response, I really appreciate that.  Darn, so it's likely going to be 9-11 weeks from NOA2 to completion of Medical and Interview.  Such is life.

Your link brings me to VisaConnection- Philippines with a batch of links.  Looking more closely under the grayed out sub links such as USCIS I can see “I-129 Petition Process” and “I-130 Petition Process” but these appear non-active.  When I click on one I get: 

403 - Forbidden Error

You are not allowed to access this address.

If the error persists, please contact the website webmaster.

So you unlocked  one level but all the other levels appear unlocke.

For instance, I can reach your index: http://www.visaconnection-philippines.com/index.html

So then I go to “Visa Application: USEM”

That brings me to:

“There are only two visa processes at USEM we will cover:

• K-1, Fiancee Visa, which is a non-immigrant visa by status, yet processed as an immigrant visa at USEM.

But if I then click on what appears to be an active link I get a 403 again.

Perhaps it’s something on my computer?  The new Firefox has created plenty of issues recently.

Thanks for the answer.... at least now I understand why you wondered why I could not see it all.

Visa Process for Manila Embassy  brings me to 403, Forbidden error, so does the link, so does the Hank > here link.  How might I be able to access your Visa Process for Manila Embassy  please?
