Mom left behind a giant jar of St Joseph Children's Asprin in the medicine cabinet. It's good until, like, 2015, so I'm trying to use it. But it's very strange to choke down 6-8 tiny pills every time I get a headache. I know that one day, I'm gonna swallow wrong and one's going to go straight into my brain.

Good until 2015 probably only holds if it's unopened. Opened aspirin does degrade pretty quickly. If you sniff the stuff and smell vinegar or a salad-dressing type odor, then it's time to throw it away.

Ooh, is it pink and cherry-flavored?

And: ~hugs~ That sort of left-behind stuff can be kind of a kick in the gut. I think it's lovely and kinda inspiring that you're trying to use up the aspirin instead of weeping over it or throwing it away (not that I would ever do either of those things, oh nooooo). :)

OMG is it the awesome orange-flavored aspirin? Candy!

I hope when the one goes straight into your brain we get to watch it do it like on House.
