I'm not in the best of moods anyway. I've got a sinus headache and no medications that won't make me sleepy. I resent the fact that I have to provide ID to buy pseodophedrine. I'm not a criminal and I resent the government keeping track of how much sinus medicine I use! I know it cuts down on the amount of drugs the meth heads can make but at the cost of everyone's personal freedom to buy and take medicine! I bet if you had to register to buy a baseball bat, beating deaths would decrease... or else murderers would just find something else with which to beat their enemies.... just like the druggies are finding new drugs. And I'm still stuck standing in the pharmacy line to tell the government that my sinuses are stuffy!

They whole thing with sudafed bugs me too. I've found that sudafed PE works pretty well for my sinus headaches (I think that one you can buy w/p the pharmacy- not sure though it's been a while). I took some today for the very same reason- between that & the tylonol my headache seems to have gone.
I too resent having to undergo the Spanish Inquisition to obtain a decongestant. If I was buying 15 boxes, kerosene and a choreboy then yes,, ask to see my flippin' ID but ONE stinkin' box of psuedophenefrin (yeah, I have no clue if that's spelled right, you get the idea) is insane. I had to interrupt the Target pharmasist from his normal schedual of doing nothing to get some the other day.
Oh you want Sudafed horror stories? My DH went in to buy me some and tried to buy two 30 count packs (or something like that) for this ADVERTISED buy one get one half price deal. They WOULDN'T LET HIM BUY IT because you can only buy one box per ID. He could, though, go back and buy one 96 count box with no problem. Try to buy the advertised items? No way! Wrong state, I guess. Ugh. Yes, annoying is not even close to the right word. And guess what... the meth lab dudes don't actually purchase the drugs. They steal them! Why are they torturing us??? (Can you tell my sinuses are gone at the moment too?) *sigh*
I also wanted to say, BTDT with the PS woes. I have an Emotional Attachment Clause to all of our video game rules: if Mom deems that anyone is getting too emotionally attached to their video games, said game is turned off (or upcoming priviledges taken away) on the spot. It is a bad, bad thing when serious emotions enter into the gaming world. We just had that happen today. I will not tolerate a temper tantrum because you couldn't beat the entire United States on Cruisin' USA before your time is up.
I think you guys are a little too hepped up on psuedophedrine to see this issue clearly. Yes, it is a little inconvenient to stand in the pharmacy line with three whining children. (Whining because you are no longer shopping for their things, but now want to get something -gasp- for yourself)BUT you're a bunch of home schoolers so you can go to the pharmacy on a Tuesday morning when there is no line, of course you'll have to take the kids, but you can't have it all. OK, I do resent the government keeping track of one more aspect of my life. But come on, Actifed is WAY worth all that hassle. AND I can buy 3 boxes at a time, so that's three months worth, just pick it up when you get your other scripts. No problem.
