I suppose you are wondering about the title of today's blog. Well it is SMTWTFS otherwise pronounced with a silent F as SMITWITS. It is the name given to pill takers who spend their lives filling the little boxes full of a variety of pills hoping to solve one thing or another in the process. Well, I have to admit, at age 67 I too have become a SMITWITS character. Failthfully each week I fill the little boxes with a whole variety of some dozen pills and faithfully try to take them each evening before I go to bed. However, that number has now grown to a figure of fifteen pills with all of the vitamins and other things I am taking so I have now upgraded to a larger container and I am now one of the bigger SMTWTFS users. That makes me a real SMITWITS character of some considerable note. My new container is just over 10 inches long and about 1-1/2 inches wide and an inch deep. Now that I am the top SMITWITS around here I will get to use this unit for the rest of my life.....the other one I had was my mother's early pill container. She died in 2005 at the age of 85 and had outgrown her tiny SMTWTFS container too. So if you see me pull out this gigantic thing one day, you will recognize me as the top SMITWITS and not challenge me. If you did, I would probably hit you with one of my two canes so beware.....or maybe I will just throw a bunch of pills at you.....on second thoughts, maybe not, you might swallow something that only works for me and that would be a real waste.
