The post whore thread.

No, it won't. It's a good start, but there are a bunch of other antibiotics to have on hand also that can be boight sans prescription. I don't have links to them all handy right now.

And as far as expirations on meds...a lot of it is bullshit. I read a study done by the US Gov. that tested antibiotics something like 15 years after their exiration date and they were 80% effective or so, IIRC. I guess I'll have to look for that too tomorrow (later today) if I remember and have time.

That would be swell...bought time to review the preps again

Good morning.

I've been wondering what the heck I would have to do if myself or someone else had a serious dental problem during shtf. You can't pull a tooth for someone if the infection could kill them, antibiotics have a shelf life. It would really suck to be super prepared with food and supplies at a great shelter.....to have a bum tooth take you out.

I think only Tetracycline is the antibiotic that actually has a shelf life that's close to what's on the package. The rest, they're good for a long long time, they just put the expiration on there for legal reasons.

And fish-mox is the exact same thing you'd get from Walgreens. Comes off the same assembly line.

It is Amoxicillin.

Funny story...

Coming back from the dentists office picking up another script.... driving north on Monaco the flashy vans are known to be between 1st and 4th Ave quite often.

As usual, I wait till getting within the van operators sight, and proceed to give him the finger for as long as I'm in his path of vision. After passing the flashy van, the guy in lane two gets a little bit ahead of me and sticks his arm out the window with the "Okay" sign......the light at 6th was red and I slow down and give him the thumbs up, and he's smilin'.

It was a cool exchange of "fuck you for giving me a ticket ability..... that didn't work today" kind of thing. Win.

FYI....getting a card for someone that doesn't understand Spanish in Spanish is pretty funny. Turned out it said some cool stuff, but the irregularity and confusion was worth it in the long run.

It took me until just recently to realize this isn't a breakup thread aimed at folks who'd been cheated on...

I guess a Pre Whore thread would be useful so you don't end up in that situation.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Like.
