I am looking for a good suggestion for a wooden 'thank you' to express gratitude to a pharmacy manager who went out of his way to assist me and my parents.

I burn the wording on a piece of old barn siding,then finish accordingly.

Any ideas?

All suggestions will be taken into consideration,one will be accepted...

Thank you for helping me get stoned! LOL! Just joking! :p

Thanks for the pills
And all the refills
They helped with my ills
But not with my bills

LOL... again... joking. I guess I'm not so good at this! :D

Thankyou for helping me get stoned! LOL! Just joking! :p

Yeah, that would look good in the front of the pharmacy drive through window... :(:rolleyes:

Hmmm a good thank you would do the trick. You are so nice KBC, I just bought a pair of pants and you will never understand what I go through when I try on 35 pairs and walk out with none... so I called the girls the next day that made my day with the most awsome pants ever... and said thanks... and told them how much it meant for them to have helped me like they did. YA I spent too much on them, but it was well worth it.

I also do little things like this when I feel as if the help was more than they were hired to do;) I just love this idea. Good job on being a "good" human being.

I edited my post. I guess I'm not so good at sayings. I liked my poem... I might just give that to my pharmacist! She'd probably laugh her butt off! LOL!

I appreciate the posted compliment starty!BUT I am not asking this question to toot my horn:mad::p;) (see how well I take compliments... :( ( Thank you.really,;) )

NOW,WHERE ARE THE SUGGESTIONS>>>huh?what... PLEASE... Help... ME...

It's close to Christmas and with the surgery on the 24th I want to have it made before I see him again(probably in the afternoon of the 24th... lol)

Pharmacist of the year!

Is that too lame?

You know what starby? I might use that for the Thank you card to him!! They have one of those 'make your own card' machines somewhere around here.

Good ideas come from the strangest places... :)

I like it Starby.

Thanks Starty. It wasn't very imaginative though. How big is this sign going to be Ken? Do you want a one liner, or longer?

Like I said,all will be considered,one will be accepted... I GET TO JUDGE need ner need ner neeee ner...

Have you hugged your pharmacist today?

Now that one sounds pretty good.

Would be publicly correct(OK a little off the wall,but might pass the legal eagles... NOT)

I like the hug one... do it Ken, do it;) Heehee

I like the hug one...do it Ken, do it;) Heehee

Hey,you starty!! I really appreciate you(and who ever answers this)responding and supporting this activity.It is heart warming to know others are looking to be helpful in the holiday season,not just scrooges:mad:

HMM scrooge just came to visit,needs therapy!!

Gnight y'all.

Anyone?Any more ideas?

I am taking this to the card machine(that was down today:(

The machine just happens to be IN the Pharmacy... go figure, couldn't remember where it was 'cause I'm too STONED while walking by it... :eek:

Yes starby,You'll get a commission check(someday):D

You're suppose to be stoned AFTER you leave the pharmacy... not while you're still there! LOL!

What about... "I am a pharmacist, not a bartender" hehe

That's funny Rank! :D Where you been hiding? You've been MIA!

Thank you! Oh I've been in babyland! The little booger, lol!

You're suppose to be stoned AFTER you leave the pharmacy...not while you're still there! LOL!

AFTER, Have you seen the PRICES of the drugs today,you have to be stoned just to buy the darn things:eek:

Thank ya! Oh I've been in babyland! The lil booger, lol!

I bet little booger has a million presents under the tree! ;)

That she does, haha! I'm sure she will have fun with all that WRAPPING PAPER... she probably won't give any notice to what is actually wrapped hehe

Hey Rank!! Good one;) Hugs... miss you

Huggies back Start!! :) :) :) Hope all is well and miss you too!! Wait... I need those Huggies back, lol, diapers aren't cheap. Wow... I'm so good at lame puns, haha

Heehee rank... hope you and the family are great, I just know you are;) I don't do returns:):)

Ahhhhh man!! Well maybe if you have more babbies in the future you can put them to use!! :D Here's a REAL HUG!! And thank you, the fam is great. Ready to take some Holiday photos; I will post them as soon as we get them done by the way!

Hi Star - brought back a memory. I was at a dinner and somebody was discussing waiting in line to pick up a prescription and I said I didn't know, I didn't pick mine up and she asked how I managed that and I said I was sleeping with my Pharmacist.

Long pause before it struck her and then she laughed.

I went a step or two beyond hugging - :D

(And for the record - I have enough bottles of various types of liquor in the basement, all of them Christmas gifts "for my Pharmacist," to open a liquor store. He used to also bring home the most fantastic homemade cookies, breads and candies, homemade wine, from so many customers! And what did he save - the notes that simply said, "thank you." In a big box store a letter to the District Manager is meaningful - but you have to be careful. I saw a Pharmacist fired after an overzealous customer sent a thank you letter for a "favor" which was against the Law - even though that certainly was not the Pharmacist's intent and it was just a stop gap measure until the Pharmacist could reach the Physician.)

That's funny Judy! I can just imagine the look on your friends face, until she figured it out! LOL!

Yes, I guess that wouldn't look too good sending a thank you letter like to to the guy who has control over "the drugs" hey? Oops! I've never actually thought of getting something for my pharmacists. It would cost me a fortune though! Although I know them all by name, I hardly get the same one twice in a row, and there are about 6 of them!

If I was going to get a gift for one of them in particular, it would be Sheri, since she's the one that has bent over backwards for me many times, but I sure wouldn't want to single her out. The others have been very helpful too. I'm glad you mentioned that "your" pharmacist saved the notes in particular. I need to go in for my refills, so I will take cards for all of them! :D

Glad you enjoyed the laugh - and, yes, the simple "thank you for your kindness," something like that - that's really appreciated. I think it's the same in most professions.

Although I never turn down a gift! :D

UHOH,this looks like it is getting habit forming:)

How many professions DO we thank for their services?

Our garbage man gets a card(maybe a six pack too... :D)as well as the paper carrier/postal carrier, they are easy to deliver, right in the box.. or right on top of the can as the case may be... lol

Remembering those who 'serve' not just the armed forces or the police,they are important in the larger picture,but the little people we tend to look past... they do more for society than we truly return to them.A card(or a six pack) can say a lot.

Remember those that serve you this year.

You know, when I was still working outside of my home as a floral designer, I'll never forget this one guy who used to do something every Christmas for me and one of the other girls.

He used to stop by every so often in the morning and bring us doughnuts. Then right around C'mas, he would have someone order a special exotic flower, or a pretty poinsettia to be picked up usually early on C'mas eve day. At the last minute, he would call the shop and say Merry C'mas, those flowers are actually for you! Although after the C'mas season we were a little sick of looking at the darn things, it really was nice to take home flowers that someone had bought us, since we had spent weeks before C'mas making them for everyone else.

The yr. that he passed away, his wife ordered them, and sent a card along saying that these once again were for us, from him. It made us cry, that she thought of us of all people, and how much we appreciated that he always remembered us at C'mas. :)

You're making me feel guilty now Ken. Geez, I guess my shopping isn't almost done like I thought! :eek: But sorry, the cops are getting coal in their stockings from me this yr! LOL!

COAL? That would WARM them,, give them the garbage from the trash man... HA

OK some KY jelly at least... :p

Sometimes it's the kindness of strangers that touches us the most because it's so unexpected. And, yes, I remember the people who go the extra mile all year long - the UPS man, the people who collect the trash, certainly the woman who delivers my paper.

Sometimes it's a gift, sometimes it's a card. It's just nice to be thanked.

I'm in touch with the ICU nurses who were so wonderful to my husband and have sent them a basket of fruit - I don't know if anyone looks back after a medical ordeal but they truly are unrecognized, underpaid heroes. The Doctors sort of swaggered around but it was the Nurses who every day held me up, explained things and treated my husband with such kind, gentle hands - and who cried with me when he passed.

So - hug a Nurse today! (If one isn't available, hug a Pharmacist.)

COAL?? that would WARM them,,,give them the garbage from the trash man....HA

OK some KY jelly at least............:p

Why, so they can go screw themselves? Did I say that outloud? Oops, that was baaaad wasn't it! :o

Yes, the nurses are the ones who do most of the work sometimes, and yes the pharmacists too! The Dr.'s always seem to get most of the credit, when they wouldn't be able to do their jobs if it weren't for the others who take care of things for them! :D

Get out of my head dam*it... lmao

It was for the people they arrest:eek:,they could have a LITTLE compassion for the bad guy.:p

So - hug a Nurse today!

I feel so warm inside now. LOL

Yes, hugs to you J! Oh what the hay... group hug! :D

I feel so warm inside now. LOL

Don't tell me starby sent the coal to the wrong place?;)

Hi J,how are you? Are you ready to do the holidays?My surgery has been advanced to tomorrow at 10:30 AM,I am VERY ready for it.

I'm doing well Ken, thanks for asking. A little headache today as I celebrated a bit much last night though.

I'm glad the surgery has been advanced. I'm sure you are ready to get it over with.

An aside, I have a doctor I would like to thank also. This particular doctor actually takes orders from me!! :D:p I just make a phone call and poof... he does what I ask. :D

I just make a phone call and poof.....he does what I ask. :D

Doctor on command?

Wow,a truly powerful nurse you are... :p

Doctor on command?

Basically, yes, doc on demand... and it's NOT the OB doc I work for, just a family physician. Well, he was the one who wrote my recommendation for nursing school. :D

I made a phone call about my FIL, who is quite ill at the moment, and voilà... he got admitted, not through the ER, is having blood and wound cultures done, being rehydrated, and broad spectrum antibiotics.

I feel so special. :o

Sorry for the illness,hope that hospital is all right without you being there... ;)

Sorry for the illness,hope that hospital is alright without you being there....;)

Unfortunately, he's not having a baby, so there is little I can do aside from communicating with his doctor.

Is your surgery out-patient?

OH yeah,outpatient all the way.

Scope work then kicked out 2 hours after time in recovery.

I didn't know you read here or I would have said "J9 and all the other Nurses." In my husband's case I saw Nurses say to Doctors, "We're here 24/7. You're here for 10 minutes. Believe us." Amazing -

They pulled me aside and said not to believe this Doctor but to trust that one.

And I don't know how you/they do that every day. I come home sometimes sad about what I do. I can't imagine dealing with the thin line between life and death every day. And the ICU Nurses - how they stay compassionate is beyond me.

And they were great to me during my recent about of surgery. Maybe the bad ones are locked away in the basement, or something.

<hug>

You're right Judy! If you ever want to find a good Dr. talk to his nurse! ;)
