Right then, then. Why did you make the “look similar” statements then? 😕 It boggles me. Truly puzzled, not sniping, and no bitchyness meant. Why say a thing, that taken at face value leads to certain paths of logical conclusion, if that isn’t the case? I hope you are being much more careful with your medicines now, much as it sucks to need to do so, it wouldn’t feel good to know your friend got sick because she stole your meds. ☹ That’s what the main “tone” of my posts has been, “be careful” with honest concern behind the words. As I said before, truce?

On preview **Alice** my hobbys are art, books and Everquest among other things. 😉 Standing up for what I believe in was ingrained into me by my father and mother. It’s more “who I am” or “where I come from” than “what I do”.

I still recommend the **Ultraviolet Thief Detection Powder** (link provided in the closed thread).  
This time, I will add that I recommend it on an _empty_ pill container.

Easy to find out. Stuff him/her into a bottle and see if the co-worker tries to steal him.

Many people who take multiple medications carry a few of them in the same bottle. I see no problem with it as long as you are able to positively identify them for personal use. I think it is a problem if the police search your purse and find unlabeled pills but that is another topic entirely.

The thief should be lucky she didn’t get diuretics or laxatives.

If **Indygrrl** stuffed **Zabali\_Clawbane** into a bottle and the co-worker bcame unbearably pompous and sanctiminous on top of being a thief, who would be responsible for that?  
**Alice** for suggesting it or **Indygrrl** for setting her up?

Careful, **Zabali**. Some of us do have memories here, and it wouldn’t be that hard to find a certain thread in which you made a certain claim, then kept changing your story to gain sympathy from the crowd.

So, if someone accidentally leaves out a fairly minor detail from a story, you really shouldn’t be jumping on them.

Quit while you’re ahead.

Yes, yes you did, and you get credit for saying so earlier than I.

My post was an attempt to put that into tiny words that a reactionary fucktard like **Zabali** would understand. 🙂

I remember **Zabali** starting a whole other Pit thread to take to task the people who didn’t answer the way she wanted them to in the first thread, and then continuing to add details until more people were ‘on her side’.

Well, I know what my answer would be…and I think Indygrrl already put it as nicely as possible. 🙂

Folks, I’d be willing to bet that **Zabali\_Clawbane** will not come back to this thread.  
Although she’s inordinately fond of lecturing others on the RIGHT.THING.TO.DO., she has the disconcerting habit of disappearing when challenged.  
However, I can assure you that she will keep all of your negative comments on file somewhere as proof that you’re prejudiced against her the next time you have the temerity to disagree with her.

**Zabali** , may I ask, what is your ultimate intention?

You keep writing long scolding posts and then saying truce? at the end. If you really wanted a truce, you would have come in here once, said

“this is what i mean”

and _dropped it_. And not come back. Your tone reminds me of my mother, who always wanted me to admit I was wrong before we could make up and I could be her daughter again.

You are definitely on a high horse, and it makes me think you don’t have any intention of budging from your place. You are judging \*\*Indygirrl \*\* from a few posts on a message board and you want her to back down and I don’t see any other intention in your posts.

**Indygirrl** , I hope the problem is resolved although I have no advice. I can’t imagine how I would feel if a friend suddenly started stealing meds from me.

Oh, and **Zabali**? I will say this in a much less inflammatory tone than **alice\_in\_wonderland** , although she is right:

\*\*Czarcasm \*\* said what he needed to say without riling up everyone’s feathers. Indygirrl came in here to explain. You followed her in here and said the same things he said rudely and with a great deal of accusation.
