Can't, or I could but that would cause other problems. My sister is already listed as her power of attorney (fincial and medical stuff) not me. We have it set up like that on purpose and it's not something I want to mess with. I don't want to ask her to deal with the pharmacy though cuz it's just easier for me to do it since I don't have little ones at home to consider when I need to make a run for something. I already tried to change pharmacies but this is the only one around here that delivers and while we don't use that service anymore, I like knowing it's available if we absolutely need it. It just shocks me I can walk into the bank, hand them a check and my drivers license, they make one quick call to her and then give me a bunch of money. Yet calling the pharmacy I have such a difficult time, especially since when I go in I have never even had to show my id or give them any information other than her name.

war, you can have more than one power of attorney. We just filled out the paperwork so that chuck and his two siblings are all the powers of attorneys for everything for his dad.

I would change to a small pharmacy who will have fewer employers and get to know you and your aunt. And, then, if you do need to change to deliver service for some reason just have the prescriptions transfered back to the other pharmacy. It should only take a phone call either from the aunt or her doc to transfer them back.

War, I think you've actually been lucky with the bank. They should not allow you to cash a check of hers, even on a phone call say so. I've got my own accounts at the same bank as my mother's, yet couldn't handle her finances until the power of attorney was on file there. As far as the pharmacy goes, it's probably the old HIPAA thing. HIPAA refers to protected health information, and her prescriptions fall under that. I've picked up my friend's scripts before without any question at all on Walmart's pharmacy though...strange. If at all possible, you can probably end all of this by bringing your Aunt to the pharmacy and signing their release forms in person.

War, you can have more than one pharmacy at a time. I'd transfer her stuff to your pharmacy and then just use hers as back-up.

Grrr -- DH forgot to leave door open for furnace guy's annual check, so a business card was left w/ a note to call to reschedule. I call -- and the receptionist chews me out for forgetting! She said "it's the second time." When I said, "Nope -- haven't looked at the furnace at all this year," she said "This happened last year too!" I could've slugged her! We make a mistake ONCE a year and you bit*h at us??? She continued on w/how busy they are, and when I explained they weren't the only ones (I haven't been home during the evening in the past month!) and DH was attempting to "do it all" she made a snide comment about expecting people to put it on their calendars. I told her (more loudly) I was looking at the calendar and it WAS on there, but DH just hadn't remembered. After being chewed out for at least 5 minutes (and this was after a horrendous day at school - which is a RANT - not a gripe!), I interrupted her and said, "Look - I can't do anything about today, when can you reschedule it." After the reschedule, I called DH and asked him (nicely) if he'd forgotten-- and told him of the nasty lady I'd dealt with. He had the presence of mind to ask if they had cell phones and a work number-- and if so, why didn't they call. SOooo- - I called back (this is only about 3 minutes after hanging up) and asked! She said, "well, we probably should call a day before but we're just so swamped." I responded with - -Then you know how I FEEL! Now -- put the work number on the work order b/c both DH and I work within 2 miles of home and can get here if it gets forgotten. Customer Service evidently means something different to the furnace companies!

Holy crap Teach! I assume they are the only place in town? Otherwise, why in the world didn't you hang up on her and call someone else? I guess if they are the only place in town, they think that gives them the freedom to chastise their customers as they see fit.

A minor gripe..why is Seinfeld still being shoved down out throats like five years after the series ended?! On my Yahoo! page they are keeping track of "people's fav episodes!" Blech, I've heard about the Soup Nazi a million times already. Then there is a commercial with his annoying voice on it! Then the business with his wife's cookbook. Go away! Your observations are mediocre and not funny. Go away already!

Afraid so, Whoami. It's one of the few disadvantages of living in a small town. The only other place within 20 miles is owned by an older guy who won't talk with the "woman" unless the MAN is there. ***sigh***

Ugh! Guess I'm alone on the Seinfeld hate. I wish he would take his bags of money and have the decency to go back into semi-retirement.

You're not alone, Nyheat. I didn't like his show when it was the original episodes so I really don't want to see reruns all the time. I turn the channel when he comes on for any reason.

Gee whiz! I loved 'Seinfeld' and like Jerry too. I just watched him on Larry King and didn't see anything not to like.

My husband can't stand Seinfeld, but I always got a kick out of the show. Short story, the one and only time I have ever been to NYC was with my husband. Our friends took us by the famous restaurant portrayed in the show and I wanted to get a picture in front of it with my dh. To my surprise, he wouldn't get out of the car, said he doesn't like him. The car was already pulled over so I got out and took the picture with my bf husband. I was a bit irrated with dh, in fact, every once in awhile a remind him how inconciderate it was of him just because I feel bitchy, not because I care anymore.

He and the cast irritate the crap outta me. I avoided that show like the plague. I do like Jason Alexander tho.
