Shovel testing is so much more difficult with a cold.  Also, people need to stop carding me for cold medication.  I am over eighteen.  Have been for seven years now. 

Also every time cold season comes around, I think about the fact that it took less than two weeks to train me out of  saying "bless you" when someone sneezes, but I haven't been able to retrain myself in the following eight years.  I'm not even sure why we weren't allowed say anything about sneezing at choir camp, but we weren't.

I feel your pain - deadlifting 50 pound bags of oats isn't much fun, either.
The thing about getting card is that depending on what you buy you'll be carded for the rest of your life. The Shrubinator decided that meth was such a big problem that they had to keep track of ALL of the pseudoephredine sales in the country. That's why every time I buy a box of Sudafed (which, as you know, I'm still living on) I feel the evil breath of Big Brother on my back.
Of course, if you're buying the stuff with the fake Sudafed, my only answer is what's the point? Can't make meth out of it; it doesn't even decongest me! :-)

I'll always be a fan of 'gesundheit'. Especially since it gives me a chance to confound people by accidently saying "Danke Schoen".

Yeah, I've come to expect that I'll have trouble buying Sudafed, which is why I got something different. Really my thing was the cashier asked if I was eighteen, then when I said "yes," stared at me until I produced an ID.

'gesundheit' is a good one. I just have a hardtime remembering to say anything until eveyone else does.

They ask if you're 18 when you're not even buying Sudafed? Weird. Very weird.
My new boss told me today that he could totally see someone mistaking me for a 16 year old.
*headdesk*

I never get to it in time, either. *shrugs* Oh well.
