Francesca has a few reminders for you today, to keep our lives, and those of others, humming nicely.
1- Give blood.
2- Clean out your medicine cabinet. Remove anything that has expired. Remember to check your contraceptives for this!
3- Use Lysol, or antibacterial mouthwash, or some other germ killer, to clean your keyboard, mouse and phone — at work and at home.
4- Replace the baking soda in your refrigerator.
Francesca hath spoken!
Don’t throw out the vicodin or percoset! Send it to me!

I don’t throw out any expired medication because I don’t want it getting into the landfill where it could be eaten by stray animals or end up seeping into the water supply or something else undesirable. But what to do with it? I have a cabinet where I keep expired medication but it is going to get full eventually. I have heard that you can take expired meds to your local pharmacy and they will properly dispose of them for you, but when I asked about this at my pharmacy they looked at me like I was insane.

You haven’t felt rejected until the Red Cross looks at you in the blood donor lineup and informs you that You Just Won’t Do.

If your contraceptives have expired, you obviously haven’t been taking them daily as prescribed!

if your contraceptives have expired, having a dusty medicine cabinet is the least of your worries.
