What i know for sure, is we are all familiar with a pharmacy,what i know for sure too, is the vague role they play in our health,what i do know too is the the basic role  the owner's create it to do.(investor's).-money minting machines.

i happen to be the lady behind the counter on the areas written boldly-PRESCRIPTION.Wow!!afew occasions is the resigned face that says i need help, on many instances, its serve me fast, need to hit the road.
