    Yes that is very true, but a significant majority of pharmacies don't carry pseudoephedrine by choice. So far in my migrane avoidance shopping around I haven't found a pharmacy that carries the genuine substance. What is worse is that during your shopping you are feeling abysmal with sinusitis or other symptoms and just want to be home in bed.

    I should go looking before the cold and flu season hits and I don't yet need it.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    One of the Painkillers I get for chronic pain comes in Suppository form.
    I dread going in to pick it up and getting told how to use them when there are a heap of customers in the shop.

    Tell your GP that for all the good they did I may as well have shoved them up my bum.

    Or you can tell the G.P. when he says take them in the back passage. Ask him if the kitchen is ok. You dont have a back passage

    They just wanted to get someone crazy enough to buy a Ford out of there as quickly and quietly as possible.

    They're more interested when you deposit the money than when you withdraw it. If you walked in and wanted to deposit $70K and it did not come from a "normal source of income" - they question where it came from from and the deposit is reported. It's a government requirement partly to counter tax avoidance (eliminating "cashies"), and the information is also used to identify possible criminal activities. One of my Goldroom foremen on a job I used to run near Kalgoorlie got busted after he attempted to deposit a large sum of money into his bank account and then withdraw same amount to buy a block of land. The deposit was reported, as it did not appear to have come from his "normal source of income" (salary deposited by employer). The information was passed on to the Gold Squad, who subsequently raided his house, found gold and cash stored under the frozen vegies in his freezer, took him to court and had him locked up fo 18 months.

    Once the money is in your account and "big brother" knows where it came from, they show little interest. I recently withdrew the funds to pay cash for the Disco 4 before re-financing it through an arrangement with my employer and putting the money back in to my account. No questions were asked when I withdrew the cash, but I was questioned about why my employer was depositing an "unusually large" sum of money into my account, even though it was done as a bank transfer between my employer's bank and my own.

    One of my Blood Pressure Meds comes in an enormous package.
    Last time I got some the chemist commented on the size of the box, I replied,"I hope they aren't suppositories"...

    A chemist we used to go to insisted on discussing your condition and drugs at the top of his voice in front of other customers.
    I told him to concentrate on flogging snake oil and potions and leave the doctoring to those better qualified and never went back.
