Christmas presents for older people.

I tell everyone not to buy me anything unless I have specifically asked for it. Otherwise, they are just wasting their money and my time.

I can't decide what is funniest about your post newdude.. the gift itself, or the fact you have actually filled the capsules! 
Newdude, You posted at 5:20 pm but the Monday am cubical still has the pills. I think another present is in order here too.
Our refrigerator is older than dirt, and I don’t really want to buy a new one…..but sherry and I are always afraid we’re on borrowed time. So introducing a thermometer that connects to HomeKit. Now if the Temp goes below 30° our kitchen lights turn blue and if it goes above 40° they turn red.
It’s the little things in life…….

I’m a bit of tee shirt fan…

No joke, I just recently spent about $600 rebuilding my 2009 GE fridge with new fan motors and a new control board. The old control board was starting to go sideways and the fridge would intermittently loose it’s marbles. I also splurged and replaced the old standard old outlet it was plugged into with a $50 hospital-rated surge protector outlet (SPD not GFCI) so that the new control board would be protected from line surges. I have no desire to buy a new fridge at the moment and figured I’d rather do the easy fixes. Once the compressor goes, it’ll go into the landfill but as long as that compressor keeps humming along, I’ll keep the rest of it on life support.

My new toy is an Ooni Frya 12 pizza oven. I'm still getting used to it.

You have me beat. Mine only has 2 pills in the AM and 4 in the PM
However, I do believe I recognize the large one you take in the AM and PM, and then the small beige one that is AM only - they are in mine as well.

ooooooo ... those look awesome. Once you get used to it, maybe put up a separate post on how it works. I've thought about getting one of those.
I’ve often wondered if Oooni is the sound that comes out as you try and say ‘That’s FREAKING delicious’ as that first bite of molten lava welds the roof of your mouth to your jaw.
Ibuprofen 800 mg and a LIFESAVER for those of us working physical jobs. I have no idea why but they do so much better than four 200mg Advils. It takes longer to dissolve the single bigger pill, but not that much longer.
I do my best to limit the everyday use and only take 1 a day (1/4 of the max) when everything is cranky, like now because it’s cold.
I’m ‘at that age’ where the first thought on a Sunday full of yard work is the preemptive ibuprofen and not the chores.

800mg of ibuprofen is often used in a hospital setting for pain relief unless there’s IV Tylenol available which is da’ bomb … for those of us that avoid highly addictive narcotics.
800mg is the absolute daily limit though … if you regularly use more than that then you’re putting your kidneys at risk. Consult your doctor, local shaman, voodoo practitioner or cannabis retailer for additional pain relief options…

The daily limit is 2400. You can take 800mg 3x/day. I did for almost 3 years due to ruptured disks.
Oh yeah. Only one. And only at those cranky times. Limited use was approved by both my Dr and surgeon.
Some conditions go as high as 3200 taken over 4 doses, like after my shoulder surgery. There were good nights I missed the 4th dose and others I was watching the clock an hour or two before.
I’m going to revisit it at my next checkup. It seemed at the time both my Drs were overjoyed that I was asking how to responsibly avoid painkillers.
*YES !!!*
*THAT’s how you do IT*
*Here’s a pillow case full of ibuprofins with unlimited refills*

Quite right, 800 qid … but at that rate you might want to buy stock in dialysis manufacturers and consult your local cannabis provider for alternatives 
Then I invented a custom PT program for my lower right side mashing the fun pedal.
