“While I’m waiting, can I ask you: Can I take both Eye-of-Newt and Toe-of-Frog along with Ibuprofin?”

hope they’re not out of newt eyes

Don´t worry, it is all organic ingrdients.

My my! That prescription ibuprofen is gonna pack a wicked punch!

I was afraid Bleeb had been used in their recipe, thankfully he’s just hiding very well today

Just need an eye of newt and we are all done!

Must be a compounding pharmacy.

Must be Halloween month, again! Clearly, some people’s favorite month.

“Tell me again, witch pill do I take only once a day?”

“Eye of Newt Gingrich, toad of wet sprocket, wool of bully, tongue of Underdog…”

Obviously, mixing up the good stuff.

Why don’t you sit a spell?

Funny…..

This prescription is for Love Potion #9, but that one isn’t covered by your insurance, you’ll have to settle for Love Potion #8, or Like Potion #9

Witches Who Work For Walgreens Be Loco…! (…CVS not so much…)

Big pharma at work.

Bleeb’s hanging in the Controlled Substances! :)

An apothecary, you can probably find one in Chinatown of any city.

Most people do not know, that in the Bible, the Greek word translated “sorcery” is pharmakeia, where we get the word pharmacy.

Fine. By the way, have you seen my children? Little Hans and Gret were here a moment ago. :)

They’re mixing in the newt eyes while she waits

Gammel Nordisk? But they’ll be travelling outside of Denmark on Sankt Hans Dag.

The difference, is that when it’s made by witches, the child-proof cap keeps them from getting out.

Which is worse: " a witch’s brew or drugs made from petroleum?

Just like the stuff you get in those bottles of “supplements.”

I had a covid shot yesterday and was awake (again) almost the entire night. I just could not fall asleep. I had no pain from the vaccine until later at night, and definitely in the morning. This has never happened to me before, and since I volunteer in a hospital with my therapy dog, I get my vaccines regularly. I never know what we are going to run into. I was lethargic most of the day, ran a fever for several hours, and only left home to walk my dog. About ten times, but that’s all I did. This vaccine was a different brand than I have had before, and I think the formula is also different. I have no regrets – I’d rather be a bit off for a day than risk a bad case of covid. I had it once, had just a runny nose for 4 days. No cough, no fever, nothing. Just a runny nose. I had my vaccines, and I tend not to get sick anyway, and I want to keep it that way. If you feel otherwise, I am fine with that.

Relax it’s just witch hazel lol

Just you wait, my pretty pretty!

Welcome to the Hogwarts Pharmacy…next!!

This will either cure your sore throat or turn you into a newt!
