Accidental drug overdose as a child; maybe five or six.
What was it?
A friend of mine when he was little drank a whole bottle of penicillin because it tasted nice, he had to have his stomach pumped.
Some sort of pain pill; not sure exactly; would have to ask mom. I had a lot of stomach problems as a kid and was told I said I thought it was my meds, even though I had never helped myself to them before. I think it was right before they started mandating child proof caps. The only reason I even remember it is because I remember being very upset when told I had 'slept' for two weeks. Not sure why that bothered me so much.

Although I'm a good basic cook, I don't like cooking.  Maybe that's why I'm good.  I don't stress out about it and keep making things I know how to do well.

 :plus:  for keeping it simple, thrifty and tasty!

Wow, two weeks is along time unconscious.

My dexamphetamine bottles come with child proof caps, I find them very hard to get open for the first time, have to use a knife. I somehow don't think a child would take more than a couple, though, they are horrid tasting.

I hate child proof caps and since we have no little kids in the house I leave them loose

Have you had any medication spillage that way? I have spilled aspirins into my purse by not securing the cover completely.   :-[

Walgreen's caps are reversible, so one way they are child proof and the other way they screw into the top of the bottle. 

I think for prescription medication, you can ask for non-child proof caps if you don't have any little kids in the house.

Yes. Some old people or those with arthritis in their hands can't get the childproof ones open.

A self centered customer slammed into me while I was preparing to load another customer's Refrigerator into his truck. I had just turned from the massive load I was carrying on a four wheeled dolly and was smashed by a 'tard. My fancy-assed prescription sunglasses flew off my face and landed in the path of a passing car. My sunglasses were smashed and the fat-assed 'tard who slammed into me never looked up, except to shout, "Sorry."

I lost my shades today.

No thanks, I have one.

We had had a few inches of snow and had there not been a car barreling down upon us, at a ridiculous speed for a parking lot, my shades would not have been hurt at all. (remember, about two years ago, one of my co-workers was run down by such a driver, while he was loading something into a customer's car) The snow would have protected them from damage. Combine one idiot slamming into me with another idiot driving too fast, and like magic, I no longer own a high quality set of shades.
