Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | Since losing my teeth 2 days ago, takng pills is fun. I always took a mouthful of water or coffee then inserted the pill in my mouth. What a catastophy that is now. When I try to put the pill in with the fluid already there everything comes out and down my chin,I find it easier to just lay the pill on my tongue and then drink. Oh I sure have fun. LOL

I never thought my retired ENT friend was a "Mary Poppins" fanatic. I'll have to ask him next time I see him if that's where he got the idea.
Cheers,
Mike
