Is it still possible to buy the good Sudafed in drugstores, or have they just stopped making the stuff with pseudoephedrine?
I happen to be very biteable, pal. I'm moist and delicious.

Mashed potatoes, gravy and chicken, I get. But adding corn and cheese? EW.
Well, if you layered it right, you'd have something not to far off from a chicken version of shepherd's pie (which I've seen on menus as "cottage pie"), but this just looks like "toss it in a bowl together", not layered.

You can buy it, but it's kept behind the counter. (No prescription needed, but you can't just pull it off the shelf.)
The last time I bought Claratin-D, the pharmacy also had me sign a logsheet with my name, driver's license #, and the date and time I bought it. (Apparently the thinking is that no meth addict would have the patience to fill out the entire line.)

I want my blue Sudafed, damnit. A trip to Target seems to be in order.

You can get it; you just need to get it from either (a) the pharmacy or (b) the checkout counter, depending on which store you use. Often, they'll have coupons near the pseudo-pseudoephedrine for the good stuff. Oh, and I think they make you give a name and address (or at least show ID).
Something else I got recently I had to get at the front counter. I think it was OTC Prilosec. Not sure why that is restricted in any way.

This is my first day without DayQuil in almost a week. I hope the phlegm recedes a bit before I have to get on a plane on Thursday.

I've been unable to find the non-drying aqua liquigels. Which means I'm pretty much screwed. I tried a few other things and they only made things worse.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
The last time I bought Claratin-D, the pharmacy also had me sign a logsheet with my name, driver's license #, and the date and time I bought it. (Apparently the thinking is that no meth addict would have the patience to fill out the entire line.)
Plus you can only buy one package at a time, even at the same Walgreen's that lets me walk out with a box of 100 syringes no questions asked.
Speaking of stupid things, Perkins the cat is spending the day at the vet's today, getting stitches, and possibly more.
Again.
I keep wondering when someone is going to think I abuse him.

Those were the best, weren't they? Stupid meth-heads.

Good lord, what'd he do?
I really dislike current policy. When my sinuses are trying to kill me, I can't decide who to go bash in the head: meth makers, politicians or big pharma.
