MiniMe and I stopped by Beaner’s house to drop off a belated birthday gift and, while there, she said some gifts of wisdom with us.
A few days ago, when watching television with her daughter, an ad for osteoporosis medication aired – the main focus was broken bones. Beaner’s daughter informed her they should purchase the medication for me. “That is so kind of her to think of me,” I told Beaner. “Don’t worry, a few minutes later a weight loss ad aired and she told me I should try that,” she replied.
As we continued to discuss medications, MiniMe alerted us to a dilemma she often encounters in Alaska, “If you’re in the bush area you can’t be waiting a week for birth control.” Beaner and I may be older – especially with her recent birthday – but that doesn’t make us mature. “I couldn’t agree more. In fact, just a few minutes in the bush without birth control is risky.” Beaner laughed, MiniMe rolled her eyes and, just then, I received a text from BeCuz requesting to borrow my crutches. “She tore her calf muscle. We should probably purchase her some of those osteoporosis meds,” I advised. “While we’re at it, let’s get her some birth control just in case she is in the bush area anytime soon,” Beaner added.
Some say a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. We say birth control in the hand will prevent two in the bush.
