The Costco Scotch is working for my dark spots. I’ve laid in a 4 year supply.
I take one omeprazole tablet each day for treatment of chronic acid reflux. The tablets are sold in a 6-week supply, consisting of 42 tablets, packaged in 3 vials each containing 14 tablets. I usually purchase 2 of these, as I have found that I can put all 84 tablets into one vial.
The tablets are produced in Israel. I recently emailed the company, asking them why they are packaged this way. I suggested that if 84 tablets could be packaged in one container, it would be cheaper to produce and ship, and might even result in a lower price to the consumer.
To their credit, they responded within 24 hours.
Thank you for your e-mail.
Please note that the packaging of our product is dictated by strict FDA guidelines. I refer you to the labelling of the product which states that one course of treatment is 14 tablets. As such, we are mandated to market the product in boxes or bottles of 14 tablets only, and not more than 3 boxes or bottles in a package.
I hope that this answers your query.
So I guess my rant should be directed to the FDA. I’m certain this is one regulation that our new administration will overturn to make our lives better.
Are you taking it prescription or OTC? Because the OTC label says to see a doctor before taking it more than 14 consecutive days , which is probably the reason for the limit. My husband has a prescription and get 90 at a time in a single bottle.
It’s OTC, with the blessings of my doctor.
I do the same with famotidine. Though it is prescribed to me, rather than faff about with the refill and such, I just bought some Pepcid and take the appropriate mg as needed.
Not a big deal–this is to avoid the big guns (pantoprazole) where possible, so I’m not too concerned.
There may be someone else who did the same thing, but I remember Samurai Guitarist doing this. As a musician, he had all the equipment to hand. The beep was followed to a closet, then down an access he didn’t know he had to an under-floor area.
If you have prescription coverage, you might want to check your price . 42 tablet OTC goes for around $20 here - my husband’s is 90 for $4
I’ll bet the truck would have stopped if Dennis Weaver would have yelled “HEY!” one more time 
I will ask my doctor to prescribe it. Thanks for the suggestion.
Not to the level of “infuriate,” but…
Whenever I remove the foil lid from a cup of yogurt, the lid rips about 60% of the time. Which means my fingers get sticky due to removing the rest of the lid.
sticky fingers are righteously infuriating. What’s infuriating beyond its importance is when the tamper seals on any food product - spice jar, ketchup bottle, Advil, etc. - tear during removal, leaving behind scraps that stubbornly defile an otherwise perfectly clean rim. This is not important, but it is infuriating; I often spend inordinate amounts of time trying to remove those last vestiges of the tamper seal.
I’ll give it a try, thanks!
Don’t use semicolons unless you know the actual grammatical conditions for using them. If you think you probably know, but can’t actually definitively state what those conditions are, then you don’t know and you’re using them wrong.
Tip: they’re more than just heartfelt commas.
Drug store shoelaces, the flat woven ones. As they get older, pulled tight again and again, they get longer and longer. Eventually, they are clownishly long, and the only thing to do is cut them off, leaving a raw, frayed end that unravels and looks messy. Hate 'em!
Getting one side of drawstring sweatpants pulled into the little groove and you can’t get it out.
When I keep getting a notification dot that a thread here has new posts, but it doesn’t really. It’s just apparently flagging that I haven’t read the post by A PERSON I’VE HIDDEN, despite the fact that there are posts after the hidden one.
Hrmph.
Tip for you: Just pull the damn thing all the way out, pin a larger safety pin on one end and work it back through the, uh, groove, as you call it. Takes about two minutes. 
This is what I do. Also, I tie a clumpy knot at each end of the drawstring.
Me, too. The clumpier the better!
I like smooth plastic hangers, as they’re narrow-ish and fit in my closet and don’t tangle up with one another. But why must manufacturers make so many of them with those little “divots” or whatever they are on the top shoulder rail? I understand that they’re there in case you want to hang up something with spaghetti straps or even narrow tank-top straps, but the vast majority of tops do not have these straps. The divots catch at clothing and can even cause damage. Then there are some hangers with little “hooks” further down, for what purpose I can’t guess.
At some point in the past, Mr. brown bought a whole bunch with divots and hooks, and I’ve been slowly and secretly chucking them and replacing them with perfectly plain ones.
