QUOTE=vetbridge]Claim? Insurance thing? I am a veterinarian, and there was no insurer involved. Yes, the drug I’d scripted required my DEA.

Oh. I didn’t even notice your user name.

Sounds like the pharmacy was in error then.

A couple weeks ago I had to go to the pharmacy for my mother to pick up a prescription for her dog. They asked me the patient birthdate and I was like “uhhh I dunno it is a for a dog” LOL

[QUOTE=Hirundo82]  
Are you sure it is not a [National Provider Identifier](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Provider_Identifier) number? There is a push to use them instead of the DEA number on non-controlled prescriptions.[/QUOTE

## No. NPIs are 10 positions in length and are numeric.

A post in GQ

Since I am not suppose to really be on the internet I type replys out in an email and then copy and paste. That way if people come to my desk they think I am typing out an email. 😉

I don’t remember why I copied that or what it is. I guess I didn’t get around to googling it.

My order number for some jewel cases I bought online today.  
The red here isn’t as brilliant as the one I got in the email. This one’s dull, and so, I’m afraid is this thread.

TEST\_HW\_ID

Bah, how boring. I’m at work, and this is a test value from the HARDWARE\_ID column in a database table. How lazy of me to not just type it in. It’s those damn underscores, I guess.

That’s it. This semester, I have to take a Spanish class, and this site comes with my book - and includes mp3s of each exercise from the lessons. My mp3 player is so full of beginning Spanish it isn’t funny.

**centigrade**

**Valteron** in this [thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=434774) about the metric system claimed that “One good example is Celsius (incorrectly called centigrade)…”

I had copied and pasted centrigrade into [dictionary.com](http://dictionary.com) to prove him wrong, but never told him. But it did calm me down knowing he’s wrong. Also noticed that somebody already told him that anyway in the thread.

**nothing happens for a few seconds, then Izaika starts to cough and splutter violently, vomiting up a small pond’s worth of foul murky seawater**

This was from a roleplay session on World of Warcraft. My character had just been resurrected after being beheaded and tossed into the sea.

Maybe it’s the nosey-parker in me that loves knowing what people were up to around the time they saw this thread and posted what they copied to their clipboard.

There’s zip in mine at the moment.
