When do you order refills?

I thought we were all taught the same rules. A week before you run out for daily pills and around 10 pills for as needed. But after working in this line of work I am surprised at the amount of people who wait until the last pill or after they completely run out. Am I wrong in assuming this is common sense?

I have people tell me the requested refills and they didn’t come (because they are out of refills) or assumed they were on auto fill (our pharmacy doesn’t offer that) and wait until they’ve been out for a week to call about it. Or wait until the day the run out (it always seems to be on a Friday) to refill meds that are mailed.

That being said, I’ve been the bad person who’s waited too close to call because I was busy all day dealing with other people doing the same thing. I always apologize at pick up because I know how hard retail pharmacy can beat

Too much head????

I'm currently on my period so my husband and I don't have sex when I am. We definitely still mess around alot and the last 2 days I've given him head to completion. I enjoy it so this isn't a hardship to me, but is it possible my throat is... its not sore. Thats the wrong word. But its maybe feeling a bit raw? Now is this... normal? Or like possible? Or am I just getting sick?

No STI here, hes been off work (just normal days off and some booked time off) so we've been together the entire time, we're both clean and committed.

thinking about being a SAHM

Hi!

So I’m a first time mom due end of October. I’m really considering been a stay a home mom but a lot of posts on her are extremely discouraging. I imagine it’s hard not making your “own” money and the entire stay at home mom thing but are there people with positive stories? Does everyone on here feel a little lonely? I’m super conflicted
