    Yeah, I get headaches and other random pains so I have pain killers around. Through the years I have accumulated quite abit of pain killers. Like Tylenol, Moltrin, Advil. I was just going through them today and realize they're expired -.- I hate wasting things but at least there's not a lot of pills left in each bottle.

    How do I dispose of medicine? Surely just chucking it in the garbage seems like a waste? But yet at the same time I don't think there's any special ways of getting rid of them..

    I heard if you crush Aspirin and mix it with water, it makes good acne cream

    In the past i've actually taken expired medicine of all different brands to the doctor when I went for checkups. They took them from me without second question (not sure what they do with them but I felt better than if I had thrown them away)

    I think I just throw them out in the normal trash?

    And your title had me a tad worried last night when I read it. (Yes I was very drunk when I got home...) It sounded like some sort of beginning to a suicide note. Baaad Mooie!

    The "proper" way to dispose of old pills and pill bottles is to flush the pills down the toilet, and then crush the bottles by stepping on them...

    WTF Junior?
    She's gonna kill herself with expired painkillers? Because they're expired or because they're painkillers?
    Or is it the word expired associating with death in your mind?
    :lol:

    but I wouldn't worry about expired painkillers. I was like... 10 and mom found the only tylenol we had at Grandma's... unfortunately, it was about 4 years old. Mom was just like "oh, give her a double dose. She'll be fine..."
    o.o Yeah, my parents were real responsible.

    Add some vodka/beer in the mix, name the new mix "Zuperline" and sell it at incredible exaggerated prices. It makes a good fortune. :p

    I was enjoying myself after work with a few work mates... things turned messy.. It's amazing what drunken games can occur... And what things get revealed about others.. I just hope they kept drinking when I left and don't remember anything :O

    I think she meant: The awkward silence after drinking with aquaintances is excellent.

    I'm wondering if you've ever had to take cough syrup. Or used mouth wash. Because hey hey! Odds are they've had alcohol in it.
