For those of you who are here for the first time or fairly new readers or the two regular readers, let me tell you something about myself. It's something new that I discovered this morning and about which I am quite alarmed. I'm thinking that it is an isolated occurrence, a one-time only thing, but I have these lingering thoughts that my life as I have known it will be forever changed.
I've been taking some pills. My doctor said I should take vitamins; so, I'm taking Centrum vitamins. And if one is good, two is better. These are huge fucking pills. And I take a couple blood pressure pills and the two pills because I'm fucking nuts. That's what I take just before I jump in the shower and wash them down.
I complained last night about a crack in the corner of my mouth. I noticed it a couple days ago, and it wasn't going away. This morning, Stacey suggested I take a couple chromium piccolinate pills and some other huge hog-choker of a pill. She had some strawberry lemonade sitting on her nightstand. I tossed all the pills in my mouth and took a swig of strawberry lemonade.
I gagged. What the hell. I swallowed again, and my whole body rebelled. It was flesh and blood telling my mind to fuck off! I never had a problem like this before. I dry-swallowed pills all the time. I took another hit of lemonade.
GODDAMMIT! Happened again! I got most of them down and this time puked up two of the huge-ass pills.
Do you think I need to grind them up tomorrow morning and mix them with apple sauce?

I also take chromium piccolinate (great advice Stacey) but when I take these humungous tablets, I put it on the very back of my tongue, take a giant swig of water, tilt my head back and voila ...... down it goes.
