I put question marks in the subject cauz I dont remember the med I ran out of during a visit to Holland. Chuck and I stayed a little longer than planned and I ran short of one med. We wondered what we could do...everything from calling our RX on a conference phone line etc. to just walking into a Apothacary (?) (drugstore) So, we just walked into the first drugstore we saw, showed him my empty bottle and was prepared to drop to my knees pleading for a few small pills....(dreading to do it all in sign language). Needless-to-say, we were prepared to pay the price..whatever he asked. Well folks, we've travelled most of the globe and if all the people/countries were like HOLLAND it would be a kinder and gentiler place. The drugist welcomed us in flawless English, listened for a moment at our plight, went to the shelf and asked us how many more days we were staying. As he was counting out our requirements, he was apologizing for having to charge us SO MUCH. Locally, I pay about $2 each. Becauz I was not buying 100 or more, he WAS FORCED to charge me the equiv. of $.95 cents. IF I had bought 100+ the price would have been $.45 cents !!!!!!. The wonderful end of the story is that the bottle he took his supply from was exactly the bottle I buy here in NJ made in the USA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Any questions ??? THANKS HOLLAND !!!!! BTW you cannot order drug meds thru the mail !! Joyce
