Hanna definitely does not suffer from separation anxiety.
Yesterday morning on my way into work I stopped at the drug store because:
1. My ancient, prehistoric blowdryer had blown it's last hot breath; and
2. I had a sinus headache.
First of all, let me just note that my new blowdryer (Vidal Sassoon!) cost 14.95, and dries my hair in about 1/4 the time of my old one. I've been known to spend money like a drunken sailor, but I can't buy a new appliance until the old one goes completely kaput. So, to save a few dollars, I've been wasting time every day using a blow dryer less effective than my old method of driving to work with the top down on my convertible. (I had to ditch this method in 2002 when I got my Hyundai Santa Fe).
Second, I am constantly amazed by the regulations one must comply with to acquire a box of Aleve Sinus Headache medicine. Besides being required to show my driver's license, I had to fill out a form with my name, address and signature. I don't need to do any of this to buy Vicodin, or a case of Tequila, but I do for an OTC medication.
Is methamphetamine abuse a problem? Absolutely. Is this bureaucracy solving the problem? No f-ing way.
And I can only imagine how many storm troopers will show up at my house if I try to acquire a second box of 12 too soon . . .

That was like when I finally bought a new microwave. I didn't know they had ones with alarms, lights, special "popcorn" features and recipes.
I had no idea Aleve for Sinuses gets you lit. I'm stopping at Rite Aid on my way home!
Kook: Boil it down in a bathtub and add some bleach and maybe a few other unstable chemicals and you've got yourself a fun little meth lab.
I recently invested in a new hairdryer. I spent at least 45 minutes in the aisle looking for the best one with the lowest cost. I use it everyday, but I wont pay over $20 for it.
Hi.
I am the sameway with certain things, I just refuse to spend money on it but on other things I have no issue spending tons on!
I am still a bit sick....I've been sick since NYC!
Sorry about your sinus problems--it's that time of the year here--but the doc gives me a nose spray that works wonders and cost even more...
I like your old way of drying your hair... I'd like to have the need for a hair dryer :)
Wow. I had no idea you had to go through so much for sinus medicine. Last year, I got a perscrpition for a nasal spray and I figure it will hold me down for the year.
Hope your sinuses feel better. Mine have been bad all week and contributed to me losing my voice.
Damn! Like Kookla, I'm going to go pick up some Aleve for Sinuses! Do you think pharmacist will be suspicious if I ask what other OTC drugs they have available behind the counter?
Yeah, those new ionic hairdryers are the absolute bomb. I feel vindicated for all those times in high school when it literally took me 30 minutes to dry my hair.
