Any Ideas What To Do With Empty Bear Honey Bottles???
Comments (4)Only thing I could think of was travel bottles for Shampoo, body wash, etc. They're bigger then the too tiny trial size, smaller than full size. Or maybe to store string in? wind it around a thin piece or cardboard or something so it will fit in the bottle, then feed it through the opening in the cap. Might have to notch out the cap so it will close properly. And here's a really weird one (I couldn't sleep last night) make string lights. Cut the bottom of the bottles off , and attach/glue each light through the cap. How strange is THAT?! Colored lights would be really interesting! Also sand art containers, but you said your kids are grown so that won't work!...See MoreHas your pharmacy ever screwed up your prescription?
Comments (24)I go to a CVS pharmacy which is about 3 blocks from my house, and I have to say, they are without doubt the most careful ppl I have ever dealt with in my life. There are five ppl working in the pharmacy at all times, and 3 of those 5 ppl are licensed pharmacists and the other 2 are licensed pharmacy techs. When you go in to the pharmacy area in the store you go to a window where you hand your prescription in. The pharmacy tech takes your prescription and then asks to see your I.D.. Even though they know you by name, they still require you to present an I.D. card, which she checks against the name on the prescription. When it matches she logs the prescription in, then puts it in a little drawer that slides through the glass panel into the actual pharmacy area. Inside that glassed in area there are two pharmacists who fill the prescriptions then they go to the other end and pass them out to the desk where you pick them up. The person at that desk then takes all the bottles or packages out of the bag and checks them one by one against what was originally logged in. If there is even the slightest doubt about the count, that pharmacist will count the pills again to make sure you have the correct amount. In addition, there is a label on each container that gives the full description and the drugs letter or number markings so they can be positively identified. When he/she is certain that all is correct the bag is stapled shut and placed on a holding rack till you come to pick it up. When you go to the counter to pick up your meds you are once again required to show your I.D. which they verify against the presciption, then they open the bag and confirm that you are getting the correct number of containers before they will ring up the sale. If someone comes to the counter and needs to talk to a pharmacist, the one who verifys the bags will come to the counter. According to the girl on the counter the pharmacists in the booth have a phone, but it will only make outgoing calls so they can call a doctor to verify a prescription. All incoming calls are handled by the pharmacy techs or the pharmacist outside the booth who verifies the counts, but under no circumstances are the pharmacists behind the glass filling the prescriptions to be disturbed. About two months ago I had to undergo a minor surgery and when I turned in a prescription from the surgeons for some meds to prep for the surgery the pharmacist checked the computer and told me that the drug specified was contra-indicated with one of my COPD drugs, so they had to call the surgeon and explain the situation before they would fill the prescription. It turned out the surgeon was not aware of the other drug, but he changed my prescription to another drug that was okay. To my complete surprise, about three months ago the pharmacy called and said their records indicated that I only had 8 more days on an inhaler that I have to use twice a day. They asked me if I had an apointment to see my doctor to get refill and I said no. The pharmacist then asked, would you like me to call your doctor and schedule you an appointment? Sure, I said, and a half hour later my doctors office called to tell me they could get me in the next day. Jan uses the same pharmacy and one day when I was there I asked them if she could pick up prescriptions for me? The girl said sure, but you will have to sign a consent form and I will put a note on the computer that you have authorized her to do so, otherwise no one but you can pick them up....See Moreempty soda bottles
Comments (7)I found a few ideas HERE at Apartment Therapy. I've been saving hubby's wine bottles to use for watering plants since I'm terrible at remembering to do so on my own. I don't think you need the Plant Nannies like they show though. I've seen glass bottles used as too, I don't really care for the look. I think it would be fun to make garden lighting with them but I'd first swirl some stained glass looking paint on the inside in the colors of the drinks and then add lights....See MoreEmpty Wine Bottles
Comments (12)If you have access to a kiln, you can fire them. A lady had a display last year in the mall. Couldn't keep them supplied. The bottles flatten (across the bottle, not from the top down) the label stays. They can then be placed on a plate rack, hung on the wall, or laid on a coffee table. My DD bought two and went back for more but the lady said she no longer had access to the kiln. Works with beer bottles and other bottles as well....See Moresweetkountry
