Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Teri Polo played Colin's ex in what was, I think, his first TV movie. So when I see her, I'm all "You're Teri Polo! Colin abducted and kissed you!" For similar reasons Lynda Carter is now that older chick that Colin abducted. While he was wearing crappy pants.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Thanks for the explanation, ita. I had heard of it, and I remembered after you told me!

I take about 20 herbal/vitamin/mineral supplements a day, plus a multi, plus 3 prescription meds. Not counting the pain medication, which lately is just Advil, or the anxiety meds, which I haven't actually had to take in a while (yay!). I may be slightly crazy. I wish I could find a pill holder big enough to carry them when I travel without having to carry the damn bottles (which I did once, and felt like a hypochondriac idiot) or do without them.

I'm watching Dirty Jobs. Mike Rowe is funny. And hot.

Oh, also Josh Malina! Jeremy! Will Bailey! Hard to take him as some tough FBI guy, though.

Mom's pill organizer is HUGE. I think her current count is 39 pill per day. It fluctuates as they tweak her meds.

Yeah, I think my mom's pill count is somewhere up there. Eating out with her is always interesting, because she invariably gets looks from someone when she doles out eight or nine pills to take before she eats.

She's been doing it so long, though, she just keeps a regular pill bottle in her purse, with all the different pills for the day, and doles them out as needed.

For Jesse's grandma:

7-day/4x per day pill... suitcase: [link]

Or this - removable daily/4x day boxes, for tossing in her purse: [link]

For Zen:

Is the Jumo big enough? [link]

Of course, now I see containers that would work better for me than what I bought today. Eh. I'll live.

Good god. I'm googling pill boxes. Someone rescue me, stat.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aw, thanks Jen. I think there's a combination of problems that mean what she has is what's going to work: she couldn't read the tiny letters on those things, and I think she has five dosage times a day. But that could be wrong. Maybe I'll order one of those for her anyway, just for the hell of it.


JenP - Jan 06, 2007 3:46:58 pm PST #736 of 10001

Oh, see now, five dosage times a day is evil and throws everything off. Well, and small print is not helpful either.

Really, for my poor grandmother the lack of good vision is the problem -- did I tell you people she was accidentally doubling up on one thing and not taking another for a while? Yikes.


JenP - Jan 06, 2007 3:49:45 pm PST #738 of 10001

Aye, aye, aye. That's scary. Don't do that Jesse's grandma!
