HANDY TIP: I keep my blood pressure medicine bottle on the back of
the stove. Apparently my blood pressure went up bcause of the dorky
trolls here. LMAO The dosage has been reduced by half, and should be
off it entirely soon. I digress. The pills are in a small plastic
bottle, and it sliped down over the back of the stove one day. Real
PITA retrieving the bottle. Easy solution - now store the pill bottle
in a considerably larger empty Vitamin C bottle. I don't just transfer
the pills because the prescription number is on the bottle label. I do
keep baby asperin in a larger bottle tho, labeled by printing the
contents on a strip of duct tape.
I don't know why reading this triggered an old memory, but it did. 15-20 years or so ago I was
newly and heavily involved in Scouting. Many of the other volunteer dads would come by the campfire
after a hard day at camp to sip coffee and swap lies while our cherubs were out creating various
acts of mayhem in the dark.
After a particularly rugged day, one of the old Scouters announced he needed something for his
aching bones, and shortly wandered back to the fire with his bottle of prune juice. We all looked
at him kinda strange until he offered a splash in each cup. The light went on as a healthy slug of
a totally forbidden, 80 proof, rheumatiz medication went into a half dozen eagerly offered coffee
mugs. He pointed out that NOBODY ever bothers to open a bottle of prune juice in someones camp
gear.
We all had a laugh when at the next campout. Just about every one of us now had a prune juice
bottle in our cook box.
