This morning I seemed to have developed a sinus headache.  I know I've had them in the past, but just never really did anything about it.  I ended up taking a clariten and some advil, hoping to get rid of the pain part - however, it just wasn't cutting it.    I decided to run to the store this afternoon to get some actual sinus meds. 

When I got to the pharmacy at Wal*Mart, I started scanning the shelves....

Thinking to myself:
Let's see....Sudafed?  Supposed to work and get the green booger guys out of my head...okay..here's a shelf...ummm...well, these little cards with the picture on it...does that mean they're gone?  Umm nope - it says I have to bring it up to the counter to get it...that's odd.  Okay, here's the generic brand - I don't mind using that and saving $10.00...Okay...let's see...non-drowsy?  Perfect!

I sacheted my little self up to the counter and handed the lady the card. 

Lady: "Do you have your identification?"
Me: "Yes, here you go..."
Lady types in my license number..."Okay, now I need you to sign the screen and click 'accept'."
Me: "Why is there such a rigmarole to buy a box of generic sinus stuff that costs $1.70?"
Lady: "It contains an ingredient which is used to make Methadone - the state requires that we take your license number so that you're registered...you're only allowed a certain amount for a certain time-period"
Me: "No kidding?"
Lady: "Okay, you also need to pay for it here..."
Me: "Should I have a bodyguard escort me out? hahaha..."
Lady: "Good idea.

So, I paid her the $1.70 and took my life into my own hands.  I started looking at people..."Is that person going to attack me for my generic-brand sinus medication?  Is it that the green booger guy hiding near the lettuce?"
