2006 Update: That person to whom we now entrust our spirit, vitality and virility, the Priest being otherwise occupied.When Jove sent blessings to all men that are,
And Mercury conveyed them in a jar,
That friend of tricksters introduced by stealth
Disease for the apothecary's health,
Whose gratitude impelled him to proclaim:
"My deadliest drug shall bear my patron's name!"
G.J.

Apothecary: an otherwise scary synonym for those that I work with, as I infact, work in a pharmacy.
I got nuthin'. But I have come to say hi.
There seems to be a lot of illegal ones walking around, like: That guy is an apothecary sub rosa. How's that, Zockso?
I like your definition Doug. My paternal grandfather was an Apothecary. Unfortunately he had a tendancy to take his work home with him.
oh Tom and Icy, I love it when you use latin verbiage! (does that have anything to do with perfume?)
Apothecary: from the manic to the depressive, he's got something for you ... go ask Alice:
Tell them a hookah-Smoking caterpillar/
has given you the call/
Call Alice when she was just small/
When the men on the chess board/ get up and tell you where to go xoxo
Doug, you've given me a Beatles' earworm: "Dr. Robert"
If you're down
he'll pick you up
Dr. Robert
Take a drink from his special cup Dr. Robert
....Well, well, well
you're feeling fine
Well, well, well,
he'll make you
Dr. Robert
Like these other people are implying, the legal side of my business.
I didn't know that, Solace. You're one enterprising teen.
A. Spo, hi is more than nothing but less than howdy. Howdy.
Icy, good girl!
Dare Devil, I see you dropped the smiley from your standard comment. I admire your economy.
Interesting, Sar. My maternal grandfather was, too. I think all he brought home was flowers for grammy. At least, that's how the story gets told.
Airplane, Mireille! You can tell us: Did you use to dance in public to that wearing tie dye? I promise not to make fun.
Aral, you like Beatle's earworms, right?
Doc, I thought that was baseball cards.
A very efficient 18th century being. Medical advisor, medicine dispenser, psychiatrist, midwife,surgeon and tabocco salesman all in one. It was a simpler time!
An apothecary, whether lawful or not, has the means to make you feel better.
I live to eat drugs. EAT.
"O true apothecary!
Thy drugs are quick.
Thus with a kiss I die."
(wrist to forehead, artful slump)
"Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour."
I got nuthin' else
If I'd known that my husband's gettin' old would make them rich, I might have become one.
Reality is a crutch for people who can't cope with drugs. Lily Tomlin
I seem to spend way too much time in the apothecary, and can't walk out without spending way too much money on a scented candle or something I absolutely must have
Apothecary: A good friend to have.
Go to the home of any pharmacist and you will find a bunch of unprescribed prescription drugs in his medicine cabinet.
Apothecary~ My homeopathic pill pusher. I am the apothecary's kali brichomicum 30cc alternative medicine crack whore when under the painful grips of my many migraines. I need the stuff and I need it NOW! GIMME, GIMME, GIMME!
Following Kay's lead, my drugs dissolve under my tongue, DISSOLVE!
Hey, Kay & Jenna, you came over together? Are you partying already? No one told me! K-kish!
oh you would too make fun. Will make fun. Topless, actually. With a suede fringed miniskirt. Put that in your mind's eye. xoxo
apothecary-corporate vampires store-fronts that push overpriced pills on you to keep you alive longer...only so the vampires can keep pushing more and more overpriced pills on you.
That wasn't too cynical was it?
Simpler time? Monika, I don't multi-task like that and I have three cell phones. Plus, you left off barber.
So, you like pharmacists, huh, Jenna?
Kay, to your health.
Good Juliette, Logo! When you take on Olivia Hussey, you take on every dream I've had since a boy.
Geez, Dddragon. You people read!
TLP, I don't which is more quotable.
Pia, your life depends on it. And I bet Mireille and Miz Bohemia approve.
Jamie Dawn, what's his address?
Miz Bohemia, one of these days you have to meet my mother. The two of you can drink metal together.
Mireille, what makes you think it wasn't there already? I would not make fun. None of us would. Right TLP? Tom? Tom?
No, Masil, that was milder than I expected.
Apothecary, n. A health professional trained in the art of taking nearly forty-five minutes to transfer thirty pills from a large bottle to a smaller one.
Doug, I meant an easier time for the sick person :) Regardless of the problem, there was one guy in town you went to see and while you waited for his answer you had a quick shave and a smoke :)
Now you have to find a specialist for each bone :)
I just choked on my gum, Monika.For a second I saw "one gal" instead of one guy then the "specialist for each bone" caused me to choke before I slowly reread and saw - guy. *phew*
I must have a raunchier mind than I thought. Naaaah. I'm a good girl I is.
Doug, Your definition was brilliant and I loved it too much to even try to be half as clever as you!
AE
TLM, it's hard to do while frowning.
Funny, Monika. You're right, too. I found that falling into decrepitude much more convenient and user friendly.
Jenna, it's amazing how differently that reads. You bear the same name as my sister and therefore I am certain of your innocence.
Anonymous, your adulation's excessive but thanks.
Can I use my free homework pass for this one? I'm stuck.
Just came back in case Mireille said sumthin' I could use to make fun of her. And she did.
A suede fringed miniskirt is SO not c'est chic. It has to be leather. Please. Just sayin'.
I have no idea. I think of Dickens novels.
Um, yes, Doug. That's why I'm innocent. All of us Jennas are innocent. Um...yes.
Whatever helps you sleep at night.
Fred, I grade on a curve.
It has to be that way, Actonbell or we'd poison the leeches.
TLP, I'm glad Mireille has you to learn from.
More, Alice, the girl wants more?!?
I thought so, Jenna. Weird about the baby, huh?
I'm not apothacary that. It's too heavy.
(when in doubt, change the subject)
Indie, there's almost nothing a lisp and a bad back can't get you out of.
*blink blink* Baby?
