When my daughter (taught to think for herself and naturally inclined not to bear fools gladly) visited THEIR house, three of them were in the bathroom getting ready for bed. The girls, thought somewhat less sheeply than their mom, were very young and didn’t know any better. They were horrified to see my daughter wiping out the sink with her hands and warned her that there were more germs in the sink than the toilet. When it came time to brush their teeth, she grabs her toothbrush and heads for the toilet making like she’s going to get water on it with which to brush. They’re, of course, apoplectic, so she’s like “What? You said it was cleaner than the sink!”
I do a bit of leatherwork, and buy nail polish remover because it’s handy to get spilt dye off your skin. Guess I won’t be buying it at CVS.
I loathe CVS.
Acetone is not that hard to make. Much ado about nothing.
Doesn't that burn you up?!?! Me too! There's a Rite Aid near us where I refuse to shop ever again, because last year when I went in looking for a youth-dose version of psuedophedrine for my youngest, the gal behind the pharmacy counter acted like I was trying to buy heroin.
ugh I hate showing ID for anything.
I don’t buy beer or wine at Target bcause even tho I am a rough 56 yrs old, they treat me like a baby and insist on scanning my ID into their register every time. They insist it be my DL. will not accept a military id as id.
same as when I went to purchase a diet aid. Said I could be abusing it so they have to monitor how much I purchase.
You can very well see when u look at me that I am not abusing anything.
I think I may go in there and start to buy some. If they try to make me give ID, then I’ll just walk out, telling them I’ll go without. Might not be smart to say “Oh, then I’ll just go buy it from people who mind their own business (and it’s cheaper anyway)”, because to an authoritarian, that just translates to “Oh, people still have enough freedom to decide for themselves whether to bend over and tolerate our nannying. Something MUST be done about that!!” and in today’s dysfunctional climate, they just might succeed!
Dear CVS: we pay an exorbitant amount for law enforcement and all their toys. We also pay stealth taxes in the form of traffic and parking fines and insurance premiums since the police do nothing when theft occurs.
CVS, you are not the police. Stop trying to garner PR and do the police’s job for them.
I was kind of wondering about that. I suspect with the advent of more and more of this unacceptable meddling, we'll all need to be able to do basic chemistry for stuff like this. Could you outline the process? Thanks!
CVS must not be too bright. No wonder Walgreens kicks their ass up and down the street in every town.
Years ago, if you were an adult, and presented ID, you could buy codeine cough syrup if you had a chest cold. You did have to sign for it. One day, I went to my former pharmacy and asked to buy some. I was refused. It wasn’t a law, just a new store policy. I wigged out! I was sick and just wanted to get the stuff and go back to bed. I didn’t need to spend a bunch for an office visit for a cold! I went to my doc’s. He said, “Your usual Winter chest cold?” He wrote me a script with no charge for a visit. Afterall, it was just a cold. I went back to the pharmacy, waved the script in the owner/pharmacist’s face. Told him what I thought of him and his new policy, and informed him he’d get no more business from me. He was pi$$ed! I laughed my way out! Rant off!
Vinegar and Baking Soda
I saw on a forum that in the last episode of Breaking Bad, Walter White is going into the witness protection program and is given a new identity of Hal Wilkerson, the father in Malcolm in the Middle.
I think it was a joke - but it would be so cool if it weren’t!
... You can buy it by the gallon at Home Depot
Yes, as long as they don't wash it down with a bid soda or smoke a cig after having sex....
Sometime in the spring, I had been out in my garden and I am allergic to anything that puts out pollen, so I was sneezing and my head felt like a basketball and I did two days of that and then went to Walgreens. I don't know why I went to the pharmacist instead of looking for allergy stuff myself, but I told him I was sneezing constantly and my head was a mess, I guess he could see I was suffering, AND HE GOT THE STRONGEST MED FOR THAT WITH ALL THE STUFF IN THERE THAT IS CONTROLLED NOW, handed it to me and didn't have me sign anything. I am a regular customer there, so maybe he knew I wasn't a druggie, I don't know, but he didn't question that sale one bit.
After I left, I thought about what happened. Why I went to him instead of a shelf. I wanted the strongest stuff I could get so guess that's why I did that. If I had gone to a shelf, I would have ended up with a card I had to take to the pharmacist counter so they could get it. Damn, you can't even buy something off the shelf now.
I feel like we are all under a microscope and if we deviate one bit, a big govn. hammer hits us. Use a “suspected” word on the internet, and the cops may show up, and their suspected word list gets longer and longer.
Polar Bear have a word for such corporate clowns - “Ice Holes”.
Acetone is far cheaper at home Depot or any other hardware source.
Let’s set up voting at CVS!!!!!!
