I turned the portable heater on, because I'm shivering, and the motor that makes it turn side to side caught fire. Turned it off quicksmart, but I didn't have 'electrical fire' on my bingo card for today.

Serves me right for buying Anko brand shit from Kmart 🤦‍♀️

Edit: also went to the pharmacy for a medical cert, and the pharmacist gave me original Codral with the 30mg of Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride (instead of what it is now, with 5mg of Phenylephrine Hydrochloride). Noice!

So lucky you were there when that happened

Wish I could get the real stuff. The fake gives me such insomnia it’s not even worth attempting.

Just ask for it? I always do and they just ask you a few questions and see your ID.

I’m a Goth. This tends to come with some highly inaccurate assumptions about my drug use that asking nicely doesn’t work

Take the heater back

and hugs, glad you are safe

Hell yeah Codral Original formula is all I accept and the only one which works for me. You just have to ask for it and show your ID generally. Codral Original makes sick Bull go ni nighs.
