I have a head cold...again. Personally I blame the little germ carriers that were at our Thanksgiving dinner. I'm a post-nasal drip mess at the moment. And so I ran out of drugs. You've got to have drugs to dry this up. So I headed off to seek the drugs. And when I got to Target I realized that this is the headquarters for homemade meth labs. For those of you who haven't had the joy of trying to buy cold meds at one of the big chain stores lately, this is what you're in store for. You go to the aisle, look at a bunch of cards with images of what you want to buy. They have information on both sides so you can figure out whether you want to actually buy these drugs or other drugs. Knowing what I wanted going in, that was the easy part. You take the card of choice to the pharmacy counter and are immediately asked for your license. And this isn't like being carded for booze folks, they type a bunch of information off your license and type it into their system. You have to sign for your purchase, regardless of paying with cash or a credit card. In other words, you feel like a really sick felon when you're done. And this is for only one pack of Tylenol Severe Congestion pills. Imagine if I wanted something more hardcore.
