There's a pill pit somewhere that someday we can all play in like kids ball pits,I learned with pills do it over something to catch them ,that didn't translate to my hobby ,I dropped all three epoxy coated micro screws from a device ,they are on the floor but I can't see 'm to find em .right now I couldn't see a barn side with a telescope ,cataracts the joy of looking at the world thru 1 % milk!

I have an idea! Why can't we form an international pill loser's anonymous support group, to draw more attention to this obviously univeral problem, which has been ignored by pharmaceutical companies for too long.
Thanks for this!

There not ignoring it ,they are profiting from lost pills and making them smaller ,when I was a kid you didn't know if you were supposed to swallow it ,or was it a suppository ? I am not a fan of horse pills ,but they are getting ridiculous ,with tiny white pills ! Is this my nitroglyceri or coreg, let me feel it !

I see. Then why can't we appeal to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration?

I had no idea what i won ,i hadnt ever had this happen ,after taxes i walked out of lottery office a little north of $14,000, thought wow cool , of course life has a way of screwing you ,the next day I got layed off ,so " found money" became grocery rent etc etc .so I have actualy done better at the lottery than sleep ,there's something troubling about that at 12:10 AM ET.

The FDA and the EPA share a voice mail " hi Thanks for calling ,we care because you do, everything is beyond our influence "
Press 1 to get a clue
Press 2 to give a clue
Press # ( okay i am an old fart we dont call that hashtag, its the pound sign) to get a beating for waking us from our slumber party
Press * to be connected to our Taser service (ride the lightening as your connected to NWS)

That's actually a pretty funny story. I don't play the lottery. But apparently I'd have a better chance winning some money than getting a good night's sleep.

Is that really true about the FDA & EPA voice mail? Or did you make that up?

No that's my attempt at humor , since 2016 every science or technology advisor and agency has been fired or quit in protest ,the last to go was last March when they scientist studying the death of bees was fired . In the after math of WW II the US had "operation paperclip" in exchange for destroying records of atrocities and citizenship we took the Nazis smartest people , we advanced leaps and bounds and beat the Soviets to the moon , that has now bitten us as all other countries open there wallets and labratorys to hire our former science and technology brightest .

Well, just quickly back on the pill thing. I had been in Ultram (tramadol) recovery for about two years when we moved houses. I was rearranging stuff in the garage, trying to pack every box as well as possible. Decided one looked disorganized and could fit more if I re-did it. Took a bunch of random cords and caps and junk and stuff out and what should appear at the bottom, but an entire, unopened, sealed case of Ultram--straight from McNeil. Now that was a scary moment. The earth stopped. I had been so addicted to that stuff.

I ran inside and got my wife. "You gotta come get this outta here. I found something."
"What?" She asked.
"A case of Ultram."
She bolted. Immediatrly got it out of there and took off in her car (she is an RN--no addiction issues at all). Not sure what she did with it. But it was a close call.
You never know what you're gonna find.

Dear@bpcyclist, I think that might be kind of something that tries to warn us & we feel it through various avenues. I hope you never lose your instincts/intuition!! God bless you!!

I got some sleep after a couple days with zero! My body got me up before I wanted to. I’m dragging today , hopefully I’ll get more sleep tonight.

I normally don't have sleep problems, but damn... I think I got maybe 3 hours last night. Then I woke up at 4am this morning and I still can't sleep. (It's now 10:50pm here.) This is unusual...

If I can't sleep, I'll go to Walmart and find some melatonin. Who knows what bizarre creatures I'll find lurking around Walmart at these hours though. Sometimes there is some bizarre sh_t that cannot be unseen. *shudders* I may have nightmares and be unable to sleep from that.
