2019-07-09 06:23:29 PM foxkaren One year at Christmas we have a toys for tots drive. Well went to Walmart to buy a bicycle and told cashier what it was for. She told her manager and they donated one to us. Sometimes just telling cashier will get you a nice surprise. Not always but doesn't hurt.

2019-07-09 06:46:43 PM kathyhughes The state cannot do anything about it...it is not a Medicaid regulation
