The government and your prescription privacy

Take a look at this LJ entry:

I'm not too thrilled with government seeing all anexity, depression, sleep and painkiller prescriptions, especially since many of them can be for short term chronic conditions.

House Hunting - a bust

Remember this house

This house didn't look anything like the photo. The railing on the porch was missing, and the inside was a total mess, junk everywhere. It was not worth even checking out further.

And this one:

(Oh wow, they updated the photo here, no trailer in front!)

This wasn't bad. It was freshly painted and looked cared for. The only obvious work was a worn kitchen countertop and stove and cheap linoelum in the kitchen area. (Probably about 2-3k of work not needed immediately). The house was overstuffed with furniture though - in the ornate italian style. They had also thoughfully put a latching gate on the inside stairs (and I saw a plastic Dora chair as part of the furniture). I suspect this belonged to some retired couple who cooked!

However, it is a bit out of range for us at 152K. If it drops we will consider it. I think we'll keep looking for now, we're not seeing what we want in our price range now :(
