Hi Nancy,

 RH> I "do" a day's worth into 3 separate containers the night before. The
 RH> perscriptions ones are kept in order but I also know by sight which is
 RH> which--got to make sure I have something to drink with the one as it's
 RH> quite bitter.

 NB> I count out a weeks worth of the prescription pill, divided now into
 NB> upstairs and downstairs bottles (based on when/where I'm likely to be
 NB> taking them).  If I'm going to be away, I end up dividing things
 NB> differently of course... Then I have a sufficient supply of the
 NB> supplements, both up and down.... only bitterish one is the rarely
 NB> taken (only as needed) codeine...

For travel, I usually keep perscription pills in the original containers
but will do the number of days gone plus 2 or 3 of vitamins, etc into
smaller bottles. If we're only going to be gone a night or two, I'll
also do the perscription ones into smaller containers. I can't take
codeine so don't have that one to worry about.


 NB>  NB>> still can take my reflux pill without water or with just a bit
 NB> of food  NB>> to help it down if need be...   MJ used to have a large
 NB> amount of  NB>> pills to take, several times a day... she'd have a sip
 NB> of water or  NB>> juice to wet the throat and mouth, then we'd toss
 NB> the whole shebang  NB>> to the back of her mouth and she'd swallow
 NB> them all with more water  NB>> or juice... :)

 RH> Practice makes the master?

 NB> Pretty much... ;)

I think water is the preferred drink with most meds but juice does taste
much better, especially if a bitter pill gets stuck.

 NB> few days have been SO  NB>> humid that A/C would have been nice to get
 NB> rid of the humidity...  NB>> we've been having trouble getting the
 NB> house cooled at night,
 NB>  NB>> too... But this too shall pass.. ;)

 RH> We've cooled off with some rain but it's so humid we need the A/C to
 RH> dry things out. We run the A/C quite a bit, so I don't have to put up
 RH> with allegried kicked in by open doors, windows, etc.

 NB> Fortunately allergies aren't a huge concern here... But we are still
 NB> having the same hot sticky weather... there's some talk it might cool
 NB> down later this week... I certainly hope so...  We had just a spot of
 NB> rain today, and it dropped things a tiny bit... but things are still
 NB> pretty thick upstairs as I type this...  ;/

We had some rain yesterday, more predicted for tomorrow. We may get into
the 70s by next week, which would be good. I have to make bread but will
do it tomorrow; the oven isn't on long enough to do a major heating of
the house.

 NB>  RH>> I've got regular (cider) and white, same in balsamic, malt, red
 NB> wine,  RH>> not sure if any white wine or rice is in there now.
 NB>  NB>> I know I have white, maybe red wine vinegar, not sure what
 NB> else...  NB>> Once upon a time, I had cider vinegar, too...  ;)

 RH> Couple of sour pusses, we are. (G)

 NB> Vinegar is GOOD for you... (G)

I know, I've had my share of it. I usually don't consume it directly,
tho have, a time or two when the leg cramps got unbearable. Found out
mustard works just as well and tastes better. (G)
