if you are feeling nervous about obtaining meds so close to the border, then take an hour or so drive up to Toronto. can get lost in a sea of pharms there. nobody will give you any problem i assure you. could take a nice look around too. CN tower maybe?

There are several places in that area; I'll probably go to a couple different towns. Maybe I'll be able to hit Toronto in time to get back home before dark.

I'll let you know how it goes. I'll be going as soon as tomorrow or as late as next weekend. This is a good bet.
Thanks for all the help.
BTW, if you think of anything else, my email is rtoennis@yahoo.com.

One more thing: do they take U.S. dollars in Canada? Or will I have to change my money?

If male, the best place to hide things is xxx.

Man, that's silly. I've been in Candada twice across the Washington-BC border, and have never been searched. There's no reason that they WOULD search. Besides, I have far more ingenious ways of hiding the stuff.

change your money....wouldn't that just be a little too obvious??

> Man, that's silly.
Ah, get some clue. Some of us have been doing this
for decades, crossing many international borders,
to get our meds. You clearly have never done this,
I have for years.
I have had everything searched on the north and south US borders. I had my whole car taken apart on the south border. It is quite a different thing to
bring the scheduled meds vs. unscheduled.

I've never taken anything across borders, but I'm very adept at hiding things. Things are best hidden in plain sight. Besides, customs only tends to stop you if you look suspicious--which I don't, and won't. Thanks for the concern, but I won't be needing to hide anything xxx.

I've been considering hiding the stuff in several different ways--xxx. I'll declare one bottle at customs.

Why would it be obvious? I could appear just like any other Canadian--including the accent. Use UDS, and I'll defintely look like a foreigner.

sorry, that's what i meant. using USD would make your transaction too obvious to the pharmacists. even though it's perfectly legal to sell them to you, they might give you a word of caution if they think you are American. USD are not readily accepted in pharmacies, but some near the border may. CND is your safest and easiest bet.

Ha. given that you have not done this and I have I can tell you looks have nothing to do with it.

One of my college minors was linguistics, and I was heavily into phonetics for a time; on top of that, I have a razor-sharp ear. I can mimick any accent that I've heard. 99% of the differences between all English dialects are in the vowels; you have to listen for the vowel sounds and mimick them.
BTW, do I pronounce the drug name as a word (asa), or letter by letter (ASA)? Thanks.

By the letter. ASA, but better off to call it plain ol' aspirin. not the accent i'm thinking of really, but the terminology. have you heard of a loonie or a twoonie?? might do you well if you know what that is...

Loonies and twoonies are Canadian $1 and $2 bills. I'm familiar with Canada to some degree; just never tried to impersonate a Canadian before.
Eh.

LOL...good for you, you are doing a good job so far. another thought is that you may want to have a destination in mind in case you're asked at border. if you don't know anyone in Ontario, then the Casino would be a most believable response...

I'd planned on saying we were on our way to London to see family; but I like your idea better. Where is the casino?

there is a casino in Windsor...i'm not sure of the address but it won't matter anyway. lots of US citizens cross over for this, you might even ask at customs to give you directions...i'm sure that they would be delighted to do so...

I'm at the 44hr48min mark, and the worst of the withdrawal is over. It peaked last night about 2-3am and has been receding since. I didn't even take any Xanax this morning. The return of the depression is far worse than the withdrawal symptoms themselves; but I'm still waiting until the end of the week to start back on the hydrocodone. Whatever tolerance has developed over the last month with be gone by then; and then I'm good for another month. One month at a time.
