Just shopping for stocking stuffers for some old buddies and I was shocked at the price. This is a ripoff!! This drug should be provided free to us old guys so as we don't get even more ornery and hard to live with.

Canada has online generic viagra for sale cheap, I said generic not geriatric!!! Cialis is better, lasts 36 hrs, us geriatrics need the extra time.

So to all you 6.5ers out there up in their 50's go see your doctors and if any doubts get a second opinion it will save your life...trust me ive been there

I will have to check for you I havent been using it lately because ive been having radiation for the last while along with hormone injections.
Last blood work came up negetive for PSA so I just have to wait for the hormones to disolve it should take about 2 months
You can only get it by prescription its expensive and only can be kept in the freezer and a shelf life of about 2 months
I am going to a trade show in Los Angeles middle of January so I will be taking the head bolts wih me and I will UPS them to your buddy in Oakland I phoned him allready about it Garth

Thanks for the advice guys. Guess I better count my blessings. I've finally reached the age where my truck reaches full boost pressure more often than I do but at least I'm healthy.

Top of the season lads and do take care!

My dad had prostate cancer about 12 years ago, he just turned 71 in September. Know how that goes. I developed problems with high blood pressure three years ago, as it goes up, other things stay down:( . Viagra helped a little, but Levitra seems to do the trick better, especially if I can keep my blood pressure below 150 (I'm on seven different meds daily for my blood pressure, and just got laid off of work permanently two weeks ago (thanks Bush economy). My POC health plan didn't cover the three patented meds, so my physician has been giving me samples for the last three years, the others have generic equivalents so I can get them cheap at Sam's Club Pharmacy). Course, now that I'm unemployed, can't afford to go to my doctors! Catch 22.

No kidding, Garth. Almost 50 million Americans have NO health insurance of any kind, and another 120 million are under insured - in other words either their plans have such high deductibles (often times $30-40K or more!) or don't even cover various conditions and treatments such as cancer and new treatments or drugs that work, yet are not "approved".

Here's two more very sobering facts:

Over the last three years the number of uninsured in this country has gone from 42M to nearly 50M, and while the number of insured people has decreased, the insurance companies have posted record profits by denying to pay for covered services, changing the terms of coverage mid-policy, and the much feared "pre-existing conditions" which a company uses to exclude any condition that the insured had prior to being covered by that company. This really screws people who either didn't have coverage prior to getting coverage through their employer, or those who change employers and have a new insurance company with their new employer.

Second, the number one cause of bankruptcy (58%) in the US is Medical Expenses, and of those declaring because of that reason 2/5ths (43%) had medical insurance, but were undercovered!

The system is broken. The lobyists for the insurance industry have bought and paid for Congress with their political contributions, and write the laws themselves that govern their industry. We have the worst infant motality rate of the industrialized nations. Hell, Rumania, a near Third World Country, has a lower infant mortality rate than the US!

When my construction business tanked 3 1/2 years ago, I very seriously considered emmigrating to Canada so I could get health coverage for my hypertension, because if I had to pay out of pocket for my meds it would have been well over $500 a month back then.

That is why I, a life-long Republican, not only voted for but actively campaigned and contributed to Barack Obama - America needs change, and hope for a better future for our children and grandchildren, than what the past eight years has not provided for our country.

Off my soapbox.

Merry Christmas and Happy Channuka.
