Rx for Happiness?

While getting dressed this morning, I overheard someone on one of the morning shows saying that everything you need to know about your life, or the state thereof, could be found by opening your medicine cabinet.

I had no idea what the vein of conversation was but I couldn't resist the curiosity and self analysis. Let's see, Imodium, Pepcid, Alka-Seltzer, there's some kinda cream, hair gook, lots of pain killers, the only one I really take though is the Aleve. Those med bottles are old pain killers from my back injury. I'm not one to take pain killers unless I really have to but just can't throw away good drugs which may come in handy...There's Robitussin from my recent Spring cold, (at least I think that's what it was), and some sore throat stuff. ThermaCare Heat Wraps which is really good stuff, I love it. And Gold Bond Powder, (I have no idea when or why.)

This is definitely the medicine chest of a guy turning 40, and a bit too many acidy, bad stomach concoctions. I'm too young to become my dad so I'll have to work on cleaning it out by adjusting my needs for most of it. The Aleve and ThermaCare though, I'm keeping.
