Gray Matters by Stuart Carlson and Jerry Resler for June 05, 2012

He would rather take an entire drug store but not appear like an “old coot.”

I got a pillbox because I got tired of opening EVERY pill bottle EVERY morning and evening.

How come her pillbox has only 5 days? Does she get the week-end off?

My daily pills won’t fit in one of those silly little compartments.

I use the pillbox because it’s the only way I’m sure I took my meds on any given day. In fact, I use two — a yellow one for the morning pills, and a blue one for evening pills.

I usually think of “coot” as referring to men, but I’m definitely an old broad.

I use the bottles at home, but have some tiny zip-lock bags for travel. Can label them with day/time and after use pitch them.

I always sprinkle Chicken blood around and burn incense as part of MY ritual! 8^)

My wife loves her pill box, but are you aware that transporting a prescription drug in a container without the prescription label attached is a crime? I guess a lot of us old coots are prison bound!

I’m shooting for “curmudgeon”, myself.
