Pluggers by Rick McKee for April 01, 2024

Only you can stops side effects! Says no to pills!

I don’t think pluggers take their pills without wearing a shirt

Great name April :o)

Smokey is a Were-Bear?

Calendar … Yes … Pill Box … No

Very nice. Subtle, yet appropriate.

April Phurst! Love it…LOL

I’m just the opposite—have to check the calendar as to what day and what pills I take ! ! !

Um, why Smokey the Bear?

I once knew someone named Phurst, only her name was May. She was always a month late for everything! ;) (Oh, by the way, it’s Smokey Bear, not Smokey The Bear.)

I have the Sunday thru Saturday pill box. twice a day, set up for evening meds and morning meds. It is however not set up for daily. I just start on Sunday and when I get close to Saturday refill and start again. It may be Weds, or Thurs. Who knows? I sure don’t!

fill up – mty – fill up – mty – not in any particular order, just when they are all gone fill up. sometimes I get the “Ss” and the “Ts” mixed around. but really doesn’t matter. fill up – mty – fill up – mty watch the bank account disappear.

A plugger won’t smoke cigars in the forest.

Yeah, unless you forget a day!

Yep.

Smokey Bear turns 80YO this year!

Yes those pill holders keeps me on the straight . . . .

Works for me.

I’ve gone from a three times a day organizer to a four times one because I was taking too many pills in one go ……. gulp!

Guilty!

From today’s Comics Curmudgeon:

Today’s Pluggers is just a baffling and confusing series of decisions (is Smokey a plugger? “April Phurst”? The Philippines?) meant to keep you completely off-kilter with no real resolution, and in that sense is the only good April Fool’s Day strip. Kudos.

My pill box is beginning to fill so that I’ll need to get a bigger one. Maybe 7 baby food jars with day of the week labels would work.

Also if it’s morning or evening.

Only you can prevent hypertension, diabetes, obesity, depression …

Nicely drawn! :)

Check the contributor’s name.

We have two different sets of day of the week pill boxes. One set is used at home and the other when we are traveling.

The home set consists of 5 boxes which each the 7 sections for the days of the week. I have a darkish blue box for my am pills and husband has light blue box for his – these are kept in the bedroom to take when we wake up. Then I have medium blue box for lunch and dinner pills and husband has a clear box for same. He also has a white box for his pills before bed which is also kept in the kitchen.

When we are traveling we have one of those setups which have all of one’s pills for the day in one section box and there are 7 of these which fit into a tray for the week. I fill the am sections of the boxes for the days we will be traveling – plus one extra box – with his am meds. I put my am meds in the lunch section. I put our all of our lunch and dinner pills for the day in the dinner section. I put his bedtime pills in the bedtime section. We travel in a small RV (think Chevy van). When we are getting ready for bed I put the box for the next day on his side of the counter. When he takes his am pills he will give me back the box and I put it in THE drawer for later in the day. We each carry a pocket pill box to have with us to use at meals during the day which gets refilled from the dinner section for the next day.
