(Is this better suited for MPSIMS?)

But - I’m sick and left my medicine cabinet door open and can see it from bed - just wondering what you all have. This is the list of a 20 year old male college student.

Rubbing alcohol and dropper  
comb  
fingernail clippers  
toenail clippers  
hair scissors  
boxes of contact lenses  
contact lens solution  
glasses in case  
deodorant  
abreva  
generic Synthroid  
ear bulb syringe  
astringent  
Ideally I would have my toothbrush and toothpaste in there, but I’m using the electric rechargeable kind which has to live in the kitchen since the only outlet in the bathroom is only powered when the light is switched on. :smack:

My extra toiletries and first aid kit/OTC meds live in the closet/drawers storage area in the bathroom. The medicine cabinet is relatively small so it holds things I need for everyday grooming, and small valuables like prescription meds and lenses.

😕Too much cold medicine?🆒

I’m not at home, so I can’t tell you exactly what’s in mine, but we have two–one on his side of our double vanity, and one on mine. His tends to have combs, cleaner for his partial, after-shave that he never wears anymore, and that sort of thing. Mine has spare contact lenses, extra prescription and non-prescription meds, and that sort of thing.

Ah no 🙂 There’s a poll floating around RE: the pit rule changes, and you need to post a confirmation word so that it know’s you’re a real member, and this was the first one I made.
