Scripts on medicine bottles are small and not printed bold, give us old peeps a break, spend the extra million dollars on ink, just short us a pill and make up the profit... Jim

Edit: Bad idea, don't short us the pill, just over charge us a little more.

No no no. I was shorted a third of my pills at Wal Mart Pharmacy. You have to count them.

The only scrips I get there require no counting, but;
This location is fairly decent, and they know me.
The big mistakes were at a Walgreens; they simply neglected to fill one of my MIL's 13 scrips,
and she went nearly a month without it. DH chewed some really sorry tush when HE found out!

you forget to set your alarm, and then get a phone call "Where are you?"

Oh, I am a charter member of the HereAfter Club..... as in going into a room and asking yourself, "WHAT am I here after?"

The act of crossing a threshold instantly causes you to forget your original purpose.

Marriott lied. Their supposed unattended mailbox seems to have been attended after all; new email waiting for me this ay em with rather normal pica.

Loved this. Had to wait too many years to find the name of this disease.

... you're behind the wheel half-way to your destination and realize that you still have your slippers on. (It's happened to me a couple of times in the past month, lol. Slippers are just to dang comfortable!)

... ah yes, threshold syndrome ... that also applies when you are again driving, get to the end of your street, and suddenly don't know which direction to turn, because ... where was I going again?

... you just sit down in a comfortable chair, after you've been gardening all afternoon and your back is aching like crazy, and discover that the remote is across the room.

... the bathroom tub decides to leak into the kitchen below from some unknown source, possibly a drain connection inside the ceiling, when you have a guest in the house using it !!

... you can't find your camera and your daughter is having her baby the next day!!! (Yes, I finally found it ... in the last place I looked ... )
