The temperatures meds are exposed to play a bigger role than the dates on the label. I once had a reaction to a narcotic cough syrup that still had a month to go before the expiration date, yet it had been kept in a kitchen cupboard in a trailer in Arizona where I did not have real A/C. Temps in summer frequently reached 100 or more in there. So I'd say, if the stuff is stored in a place with reasonable climate-control, it's likely to be just fine. Consider this: pharmacy labels give an expiration date of one year, standard. There is no allowance for however long the med. may have been sitting around waiting for you to bring in your prescription.
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

What is even happening?
I called you a nurse to him, but then corrected myself, but thanks, Jen.
Also, yes, hi to Cass, Stephanie, Andi, and everyone.
Nora, stop making moon-eyes at your husband, and post, darn it.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Remember last week my prof emailed a final 2 days after the last class. After she had already told us no final for 2 weeks?
Well, I've decided that I never got that email and I'm not going to do the final. It really pissed me off that she did that and she has no proof I got the email.
Maybe I'm being a petulant child, but dammit! I don't wanna!

FWIW, Cindy, I've taken many a percocet past its expiry date. They work fine, but just not as long.
Jilli! Check out my best man's child, The Witch Baby.

Sounds reasonable to me, Chikat. What ever happened to professors giving out syllabi at the beginning of class which state explicitely the requirements of the class - papers, presentations, major exams?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
We just want the DH to feel better, Cindy. Back pain is just no fun at all.
It really pissed me off that she did that and she has no proof I got the email.I have heard nothing about this alleged email either. Lalalalalalalalalaaaaaa

This teacher was a replacement and didn't even accept the position until the day of our first class. I think this is the first college-level class she's taught, and while we did have a syllabus, she didn't stick to it.
We had more assignments than the syll. outlined. We never got back any assignments, so I have no idea what my grade is in the class other than I know I did well. The email for this final never said how many points it is worth. I just don't care anymore.

Definitely sounds like the people in charge of stuff like hiring and not-firing and firing instructors need to have a clue about this person's less-than-professional attitude toward teaching. And I don't blame you for being so done with that class.

She's actually a good teacher, if disorganized. She just doesn't care about grades and her approach reflects that. Unfortunately, the uni does care about them.
eta: She's VERY disorganized. So Very.
