Tablet Trouble.

Goldfinch60



My wife’s tablets are many,

Each day I arrange them

To be taken at the right time,

But why is it when I drop one

I struggle to find it,

As it is always the one,

That matches the colour of the floor!

    Doh! A fine write Gold. Some folk have vitamin tablets too, and other potions. They will rattle if we shake them - shake the person, not the bottle of tablets! lol.
    We don't need any 'keep young' tablets. We've both aged well for being millions of years old.

      I do not take many pills but my wife does and you need a degree in pharmacology to sort them out!

      Now this gave me a smile and love the music.

        My day is made, if I can make somebody smile all is right with my world.

        Well you made me smile too Andy! At least they are tablets and not messy capsules full of liquid vitamins which I have chased and then stepped on - what a mess! A good trick is to get down on the floor and look eye level if you are up for all that exercise........ ha ha

          Exercise! EXERCISE!! I thought about it once but then went and lay down in a darkened room until the feeling passed off.

            Well the Piggy Beer might help you down! As for getting up - in the words of Thomas More "I'll shift for myself"..........

            Thanks ANDY ~ That's PILLS you're talking about not LAPTOPS ! Elderly friends of mine (70+ I do have some) have tablet organisers which helps ! I'm still at the age where I am not on ANY MEDICATION ~ But I guess in a few years when I'm 40+ ~ Married and a DAD ~ I'll need UPPERS & DOWNERS ~ just like Johnny Cash to help me through the day ! I love CHRISTIAN JAZZ ~ awesome ! I have attended a Funeral in Alabama USA with a Horse Drawn Hearse and the band walking in front playin' Just a Closer Walk with THEE and The Old Rugged Cross ~ real slow ~I've put in my WILL that that is what I want ~ and playin' at my graveside ~ I don't want no cremation ~ AMEN Love the second one too ~ with Sister Bessie playin' Just a Closer Walk ~ New Orleans is Paradise on Earth for JAZZ LOVERS ! Thanks ANDY for Muse 'n Music ~ Yours BRIAN

              Thanks Brian, George Lewis is a wonderful clarinettist. I don't care what happens to my body but at the Church Service I will have a great deal of music played but at the end when the people leave the Church I am going to have Bill Bailey's "Rock around the Clock". I have even written a poem for my funeral that nobody has seen yet and I am wondering whether to record it and have it played at my funral.

              Yes we have a pill organiser for my wife but she takes 18 pills a day so takes some sorting.

              Andy,
              Very relatable and so true!
              When I organize my mom’s pills ... 13 of them ... I’m bound to lose at least one to that hungry floor!

              ~Laura~

                Yes some of them seem to have a life of their own!

                You are so right thought put a smile on my face

                • Goldfinch60

                  Glad I made you smile, it is one of my aims in life - to make people smile.

                  😊

                  "Looks left to right" Oh Sh*t I've gone and done it again! I can relate to this, haha. I hope you master the art of finding pills that match the color of the floor. It is not easy.

                  • Goldfinch60

                    I think that is the epithet I use. I am Ok at finding them but sometimes it seems to be a lost cause.
