James here...Hee Hee.....I have a black tackle box that used to hold my art supplys way back in college but now is my pill box. When I need to take meds I "consult the box" . I try not to open it when
other are around because it tends to bother people; and does no good to tell them I take only 7 meds a day and that the other pills I just take as needed. On seeing "the box" open Robert asked me if I received disibility payments !In general I just say i take meds but don't really spell out how many or why unless I feel the person will understand. Years ago I grew tied of people who did not understand or even worse, tried to get me not to take my meds.
