    "You are an adult. You can see when your pill bottle is almost empty. No, it is not my responsibilty to know when you need a refill. Call your pharmacy!" Actually I would love to have that as my voicemail greeting.

    "How did that get there?"

    LOL...maybe I should clarify. The toenail clipping ended up in my pocket by accident. Those darn things fly everywhere sometimes!
