Jerry, I remember that Wednesdays were pink and Fridays were white. As you may recall, those were the nights you worked late.

You've probably noticed that most retired people take daily medication of some kind, myself included. If I didn't have these pills to take every day, I wouldn't know what day it was. I reach for my pill box and say, "Wow, it's Thursday already!"
Boy, do I know the problem. got a basketful of pills in zip lock bags labeled morning, mid-day, bedtime, and misc. I keep a daily diary of when I take what, so I can track unusual effects. I pinned down a med that did not have desired effect but had other unexpected rffect.

As I think about it, it's not that funny. The longest I went without changing underwear was three weeks in Vietnam. The underwear survived sufficiently to be washed and used again, but the socks came off in pieces and threads.
My medic friend tells stories of peeling socks off of guys' feet with a scalpel blade....

I joke with my patients that they have graduated from the days-of-the-week pill boxes to a tackle-box...... I can always make someone's day if I can reduce their pill count one way or another.

I guess it's good that there are pills available that solve some of our problems. Years ago, people (and those around them) just suffered.

It's all a vicious cycle...They infer on TV that if you don't have sex once a day you have low "T" so they sell you the blue pills, but your doctor tells you have high blood pressure and high cholesterol so he gives you pills for that.... which counteracts the effects of the blue pill when you get lucky enough to have sex in the first place...And why is it on all those commercials the women are always receptive? Whats up with that? :lol:

What I have I do every day.
My problem is that I am supposed to take one pill 1/2 hour after my last meal of the day. I had a devilish time finding a way to trigger my to do so.
