I'm not sure I understand. Are these cookies and bars of soap 0.001% pure fentanyl?

If not, then it seems these warnings (and these products) are for drug traffickers, not the general public.

Could you edit your comment to include a homophone in your third sentence? For instance, substitute "no" with "know", or "way" with "weigh"?

I'll delete my comment afterwards. It's just that comedy often comes in threes.

Pro-Tip: Until they recently dropped the misleading product, "Unscented" Dove soap had perfume in it. Sensitive Skin Dove soap does not.

If you're considering changing pharmacies and even partially pay for your drugs, make sure to look up their dispensing fees. They can vary significantly between pharmacies and provinces, and at least in my town and province, Shoppers Drug Mart is one of the more costly ones.

Yes. According to my experience in my small corner of the world, around 2010, the cool people had iPhones, but when you wanted to do serious business, you still used a BlackBerry. Unfortunately, some easily-influenced executives often would prioritize looking cool and just let their I.T department figure out how they can get their work done, even though Apple had nothing that could compare to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES).

On top of that, most consumers and gullible executives didn't see the hidden benefits of BES, because with Research In Motion's (RIM) push to enter the consumer market, all the marketing material out at the time focused on the comparatively impotent consumer offering, BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS), instead.

Trying to survive in the narrow-margins of the consumer market killed RIM. In 2011, you would get teased for having a BlackBerry if you didn't know how to stand up for yourself and articulate how no other mobile device had the level of magic* making everything work in the back end.

* BES ran on a dozen JAVA services which required arcane magic to work.

The reality is that the rich have ways of making gains look like losses on paper. Capital gains taxes mainly hurt people who can't afford an accountant.

Do those things have the same Return On Investment?

Some times you've got to spend money to make money.

No way.

I received opiates after abdominal surgery only after I explained why my pain level was only stated as a 3 or 4 out of 10, if 10 was "The worse pain [I] could possibly imagine."

2/10 is manageable temporarily but not chronically.

3/10 was the limit where I could hide it. It requires a lot of energy to maintain composure.

4/10 was where movement was restricted.

I can't quite remember what five and six were.

7/10 means I can't form complete sentences uninterrupted.

8/10 means I have mostly lost the ability to communicate and I begin to hallucinate.

9/10 means I am unable to understand where I am or what's happening to me. It's around this point where I have blacked out.

Never ask someone with a healthy imagination to work on a scale where the limit is the worst they can imagine. Besides, is the scale linear or logarithmic?

Is œstrogen any better?
