[QUOTE=Otto] You ask for ibuprofin almost every day. [/QUOTE] Start asking them first. If they have any, slowly build up a stash for them to ask for back. ---

\*\*Otto, \*\* you could always do what I do. I had a mooching problem and so I bought a big bottle of ibuprofen with 500 tablets for $15.00 which equals to about $0.03 a piece. If anyone wants one, it’s a quarter a piece. ---
