No worries, Ozzie!  Here in the "up over"(?) the supermarkets like Costco, Safeway and Walmart have pharmacies that employ pharmacists who are just as qualified to dispense medications as the pharmacists who run the stand-alone pharmacies.   If it is a different case in the "down under", and the ones dispensing medications in supermarkets are unqualified to do so, bless you for handling the petitions to change that!

People complain about wal-mart and would like to close them down,and then run to wal-mart. Wonder why that is?
And if they are serious about purchasing from those businesses that "exploit" overseas cheap labor,they best be putting there money where their mouth is.

Raise your own sheep, spin ,and weave into cloth. Make,do not buy the supplies that go into their daily life.

Pay  the price of prescriptions at your local pharmacy. Do not buy them at Wal-mart

We all would do well to ease away from false accusations which is esentially equivalent to bearing false witness.

Your religion fails me when you think you have the freedom to even advise me on where I shop, including Walmart.  Everything they sell is not make in China as I examined a conglomerate that has a subsidiary that sewed and even stone-washed in massive washers locally for all the big names where they are responsible for buying all the raw materials except the "labels" which are supplied by and controlled through audits by their customers.  Would you think thread-merchants would have a business model where their suppliers would be required to maintain an inventory of merchandise clearly marked "IRREGULAR" for their "bargain basement module."  The irregular inventory level was maintained many time by simply cutting the label from the regular inventory, stranger than fiction.  Minniapolis is the IRS center for merchandising technical assistance for that sector for certain unique adjustments followed by the Audit division.

Do you think the "religious independents" will ever fully agree with your shopping habits when they felt a need to whet their "independent egos?"

Great advice, hopefully I will see you remember that when you imply I or someone else has borne false witness. You will of course provide the truth of that or you run the risk of doing that which you advise others  not to do. Name for that I think. Religion certainly does fail many doesn't it??

Got to tell you you are slow in catching on what many of us have known for years. Same holds true for the machines I buy. One company makes two different brands and toutes each one the best.  What a shock :thumbsup: As for the rest of what you claim as an expert in IRS matters, many have known that for years


 I don't think I even mentioned China did I?? Are you inserting your own words into that which someone else said. Not nice

 As one that buys mega amounts of thread you seem to think that you are the only one here that knows that. As walmart sells a limited amount of thread by comparison to those I buy from I hope you don't believe they are the only ones. Frankly where I buy they do the same and in much larger quantity. I have had orders I needed to return because it was such poor quality.

Frankly I don't care.  And as to ego's?????? :ROFL:

Those that do or are doing as this man should have the character to NOT do or deal with those he condemns.
Otherwise he is like a few I know. Wanting to thump his chest as he does what he can to keep himself in the limelight and revel in his short lived fame

Shhhhsh Bonnie. Don't want to know that's happening 'up there'!  :oops:

I've handled petitions 'down under' to stop Supermarkets dispensing pharmaceutical medications.

While there's nothing more that I like much besides cheaper medications, I do have very STRONG OBJECTIONS to them being dispensed by people who wouldn't know Tenormin from Temazapam. Too much room for error.

More than enough errors made by 'qualified people' so we don't want/need the 'medically unqualified' being let loose with medication dispensing! 
:australia:


Tenormin  This one costs me 4.00 at walmart dispensed by a licensed pharmacist.

The lovastatin that would have cost me 326.00 for a 90 day supply at my local pharmacy,not costs me 21.00
This was rather a enlightening experience. It was then I realized what the local tramcar charges and what their mark up is. They paid 150.00 for the same amount. Charged me 326.00. Then when I got the prescription D plan and had it filled,guess what. My cost 7.14 ,the insurer's cost was 1.40.
I then did blow my stack. Was told by the pharmacist that once covered on the government plan I could not be charged more that the welfare recipients or what they sell to third world countries for.

In my area Walmart has caught flack for attempting to increase the bottom line by expecting employees to complete work-related tasks off the clock.  Funny thing is, both Sears and Mervyns (Target's parent company) were also found to be doing the same thing.  So.... seems like it is a pretty common business model.

Here in my neck of the woods there are pockets of people still hanging onto some of the old counterculture hippie ideals, although far more conservative.  They won't allow WiFi bubbles in their areas because of the potential physical impact of all those internet protocol waves floating freely around... and they raise much of their own stuff.   They also don't have their children immunized so some have succumed to diseases like whooping cough.

It isn't that wal-mart is all bad and all others all good. Working off the clock to complete your work is not reserved for the evil wal-mart. Where I worked it was the same. Gave you a choice in that you were expected to be able to perform certain tasks within your shift. If you didn't, stay and complete off the clock or refuse. Enough refusals and you could be looking for a new job.

People are like sheep, latch onto a current cause in some self righteous frenzy. Using details that work well for them and ommitting those pesky ones that don't

Probably should leave this alone,but as I reread this it ,my understanding is that IRSPro,{anonymous) is wanting to leave the impression I am bearing false witness, but as is typical for comments such as this,no proof,no examples can be provided. 

My religion probably does fail you, and I understand why. Many of my views were instilled by my parents and I have never found them wrong in the basic principals they were trying to get across.


When someone has to keep reassuring someone else of his Christianity, watch out. If someone is a christian they do not need to tell you,it cannot be hidden,from there watch your backpocket and then your reputation, one of more will be missing.
Same holds true for those that feel compelled to brag about their accomplishments. If they are the only ones bragging
be very sleptical.

One that is a professional in his trade or career is generally self confident and does not feel the need to brag . If there is a lot of bragging, there is not a lot of substance.

Your religion fails me
This kind of stuff does not indicate a true christian on the other side of this statement.
Neither did the statement by DS supporters. Being alike except for....... you know, she prays.

People that are secure in their own religious experience or in their careers, their home  life etc do not need to brag, put down or otherwise try to demeaan another.  A true professional in any caree/life activityr does not have to raise himself up by putting the other guy down.

So until you know more abot my religious belief,take a good long hard look at your own.

Grandma,

Tell Cindy that we thank her for the heads up (my, we would have missed that one, right Bob?) and we will not make the same mistake, but in fact we intend to bring a misuse of process claim to "clean up". And, I would suspect that some of the witnesses,  and maybe even co-defendants, would be "counselors". Got plenty of time and we don't have to be out of Iraq by 2011. 2015 is the more logical timeframe for us to be finished, depending how many more we can draw into the fight. After all, if we are conducting an unholy war, might as well bring the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth out so we can convince even the BLIND that there is llight in our facts and the physical evidence supports our claims. Might just prove to be financially rewarding as well!!! But JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL.

Tell Cindy her use of pseudonyms (that NY pseudonym to avoid imaginary service was just delightfully hilarious) and surrogates is preposterous. If she has something to say, stand up like the anti-church WOMAN ( I dare not call her a lawyer)  she is and speak her mind. The constitution guarantee's her the right. And she can publicly conduct her own crusade rather than use CHRISTIAN SURROGATES, an oxymoron at best.

That is the view from the bunker today, Grandma.

Gailon, your post is a little confusing. Are you suggesting that Attorney Cindi Randall was helping GrandmaNettie with her recent post regarding legal analysis of the Smith vs. Wal-Mart case?

What sort of public crusade were you suggesting? What did you mean by "anti-church"?

When statements like this are made,is it possible to request the proof of. Or if cannot and are only guessing and giving the impression they know,wouldn't this be heading into the "false witness" catagory.

By the way, it is a matter of public record that an Attorney Cindi Randall of 45459 (Dayton, OH or thereabouts) was actively involved in community concerns in 1994.

Nothing bad about that.

Since I am unfamilar with what took place with Cindi Randell,Gailon and now you have nothing but "Christian contempt".Is it fair to assume the community involvement post here was done with out any hidden motive.
 Just interested in maiking known something positive about Cindi Randell All on the up and up as you are plesed to see a lawyer involved in community work.
Somehow I don't think so, glad you are keeping tabs on those you consider enemies

What is bad about what is getting done is the asking of affirmation on gossip about someone that Gailon would not be a party to. Repeat lies and innuendo often enough, it becomes truth for some. Tell me, do you think Grandma Nettie or
Cindi Randell would take Gailon into their confidence? Which is the only way he could make such a statement.
What is bad is the pretense behind you now coming in with this.

A confidence is rarely shared with the town crier. Nor would it be shared with those as yourself

What my post did was show that I had a publicly-available basis for prefixing "Cindi" with the word "Attorney."

What my positive comment did was show that I wasn't trying to be mean and nasty in giving support to my use of that title.
