Aargh

Chris posted about this a few days ago - I just had my first experience with it today. Jim takes Cl*ritin D just about every day for allergies. It's also my drug of choice when the sinuses start acting up. We're running low and I decide to pick some up at Target today. First time to buy it since the new behind-the-counter laws went into effect. In addition to being a pain in the ass, having to go sign the sheet in the big pharmacy book, you also have to BUY it at the pharmacy, making me stop to pay twice at Target with two kids in tow. And since we use the 24-hour version, I can only buy one 15-count box at a time. If we're both having a bad allergy time, that box will only last us a week.

Also, why is it that all the generic brand Cl*ritin D's at both Target and Tom Thumb are on sale and SOLD OUT. Luckily I had a big ol' coupon ($4 off) for the name brand so I broke down and bought it. I have another even bigger coupon ($6 off) for a 20-count+ box, but since I can no longer buy that quantity in this state I guess I have to just toss that one out (or break down and buy the 12-hour version).

Yes it's important to try to stem the tide of Meth misuse, but it's still a big pain in my ass.

I have a couple of clients who can give you the recipe, unfortunately.

Wait a while, you'll get spam telling you to buy it in quantity from Canada along with Cialis, plus they'll refinance your mortgage...

I got spam shortly after posting that blog, which is why the brand name now has a "*" in it. Something weird that didn't seem to directly correspond with my posting.

Now if your clients can give me the recipe for Cl*ritin, we might be getting somewhere!

too bad that crackheads have to ruin everything for the rest of us. i know it's an issue that needs fixing, but for those of us who have allergies, it's a real pain...isn't that the way it goes? Creeps always ruin stuff for normal folks.
