only backgroundI'm a wife, mother and grandmother. I'm opinionated. I contradict myself frequently. Most of all, I love my kids. I believe in them. I fight for them. They're weird and wonderful. If you want to know more, here's a bunch of other stuff from my old site.
I’ve had a sinus headache all week. I’m out of Aleve Cold & Sinus, the only thing that works on my sinus headaches. Why am I out of it when I was at the store last night? That’s easy. Because our government is messed up. I’ll explain. (You knew I would.)
Aleve Cold & Sinus has that ingredient that is used to make crystal meth. Since the War on Drugs has been lost many times over and has a worse casualty count than VietNam, Korea, WWI and WWII combined, our lawmakers have decided to now infringe upon the rights and freedoms of law abiding citizens. (Oh, wait! That’s nothing new.)
In order to buy my sinus relief medicine, I must now take a ticket to the pharmacy, show my driver’s license, wait while the pharmacist fills out paperwork and then sign the paperwork in front of the pharmacist. According to one pharmacist, there is more paperwork for these OTC sinus meds than for oxycontin! Imagine that!
That’s all very inconvenient but not enough to keep me from my pain relief. Except that there is apparently a pharmacist shortage in this area (according to the sign at the pharmacy window, at least.) So the pharmacy has cut back on its hours of operation. It closed on Saturday at 3. I was there at 5. I couldn’t get my Aleve Cold & Sinus. I am angry. (And in pain.)
I just wonder how many more rights and freedoms we’re willing to relinquish in the name of “our own good.”

Wow, that makes a TON of sense… Our pharmacy closes early too and I was worried about the same problem when I was getting meds for my husband’s flu, thankfully none of the meds I got were flagged.
