Underground prescription drugs an ‘epidemic’

The $1000 per dose was for someone who did have insurance. I too, have insurance, hence my sixty cent scrip.

What I'm saying is that maybe things are a little out of whack.

Underground prescription drugs an ‘epidemic’

I had a molar pulled the other day, and received a scrip for hydrocodone/acetaminophen for whatever pain would occur once the Novocaine wore off. I went to get it filled, and the cost was SIXTY CENTS. I know people who are buying cancer drugs at $1000 a DOSE and I'm getting seriously addictive drugs for pennies.

I think that if medicine is going to SAVE YOUR LIFE it should be affordable. If it's just going to make your mouth stop hurting (or in my case- send you into a spiral of dizziness, nausea and sweating- note to self- opiods = bad) then it should cost more.

Natural selection: Burial method gains popularity

Most of the people who are interred here have chosen this method ahead of time. The deceased relative is the one who ASKED for this, there's no disrespect.

I attended a green burial a couple of summers ago. I must say- it was odd, having grown up with Knights of Columbus or Eastern Star attendants, caskets made with more metal than my car, the deceased looking fresh as a daisy inside. But I can see the appeal. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. There's no reason to keep a body laying about in perpetuity- what made that body a loved one is gone, so why not let the vessel nourish the earth?

Cemetery theft

I'm not trying to be a jerk, and I'm certainly not minimizing your pain, but have you checked with the cemetary office? The items may have been removed pursuant to the regulations. (http://www.lprd.org/_parks/pdf/cemete...) I specifically mean section B.7. "No physical structures or materials allowed beside the monument"

I don't know if your lights etc fall under that rule, but it is a possibility that an Oak Hill employee thought they did, and removed them for that reason.

Jayhawk fans storm downtown to bask in afterglow of Final Four victory

So Kentucky fans rioted last night, setting fire to things, breaking windows, getting pepper sprayed.

KU fans whooped it up too, don't get me wrong- there was at least one car who's owner is NOT going to be happy, but I was comfortable taking my 15 yr old daughter downtown to see it all, there were tons of families there, and even the cops were high fiving, laughing and smiling.

Hey UK- celebrating. Ur doin' it rong.

I was downtown this morning too- saw no vomit, saw no destruction, even the car was already gone. Families were out having brunch and enjoying the day. If this is what you call being a "prisoner in our town" then lock me up.

Sound Off: Is there a place for me to recycle the blue Journal-World newspaper bags?

You can also take them to the Park & Ride lot on West Campus, where KU Recycling has a trailer for recycling drop off. Make sure they're all stuffed in to one bag, and feel free to put them in the bottles section.

Heard on the Hill: Students say they may ignore chancellor's decision to hold class if KU wins title; Allen Fieldhouse to host Final Four party; Alumni Association releases team hotel, party sites

In her email to faculty, staff and students, she said "Many of you have asked what the plans for Tuesday classes would be should the Jayhawks win the national championship on Monday night. Tuesday classes will be held as scheduled."

Town Talk: California-style luxury lounge to open in downtown; crowd control plans to change for downtown Final Four celebration; city studying natural gas trash trucks

This.

I've lived in California. If I thought I needed more "essence of California" I'd still be there.

Here's a thought- why doesn't someone open something that doesn't have a "theme" or a "tagline" to draw people in? How about some good food, at affordable prices, with friendly help and clean tables??

KU spirit squad, band members help save trapped man before NCAA women's tournament game

I wasn't assuming the Spirit Squad was all female. I was assuming the first few commenters (before the article was updated) were, which is why they said things like "You go ladies!" and "Thats some motivated young women!!"
