2022-05-10 23:37:17 +0000 UTCRight you are, my mistake. CVS was interested too but didn't go as far as Walgreen's in actually setting up clinics for Theranos.

2022-04-04 22:09:04 +0000 UTCSo many of these scams start with a promising idea. They just lose their way after that.

2022-04-04 19:54:16 +0000 UTCAs a microbiome scientist, I listened to this with much interest. I definitely think there was a promising idea in there. What a shame.

2022-04-03 23:49:01 +0000 UTCI always hated CVS and have always tried to avoid going there. (Except when greedy health insurance companies forced me to use them.) But now I'm starting to think CVS must be headed by the most gullible idiots in corporate America. They fell for this scam and Elizabeth Holmes' Theranos scam at pretty much the same time.

2022-04-03 23:47:01 +0000 UTCWay to take down that Republican asshole Jack Kingston, ACC!
Michelle Hebert
2022-04-03 23:33:19 +0000 UTCThanks for responding. Glad to see you're still ACC.

2022-04-03 19:59:09 +0000 UTCNo. There's no interest.

2022-04-03 19:44:08 +0000 UTCIsn't Chime a payday loan app? We're surprised ACC would take money from a company like that.

2022-04-03 01:03:42 +0000 UTCOMG I almost (almost!) crapped my pants!!! This is the number 1 thing I'm looking forward to this weekend. Working some cow manure into my garden tomorrow is number 2.
