That's what I get for commenting on something I don't know anything

about.... LOL! I will explain why I said what I did, though:

~ but the second time I filled it Ugggggggggg it had the most

horrible smell to it!!!!! The pharmacy said it always smells and

that I must not have noticed it the first time around (i highly doubt

that I wouldnt notice the gross smell since my nose has a keen sense)

and the RX smells sooooo awful.<<<<

Going by Loverbug's " keen sense " of smell, I said, >>>I would imagine

that if there is a smell, it might mean it has gone bad.<<<<

I *should* have said, " I would imagine that if there is a WORSE smell

with this batch, than with the first batch, it might mean it has gone

bad. "

So since Loverbug felt she would have noticed if the smell had been

that bad the first time, I figured having it smell worse with the

next batch " MIGHT MEAN " it has gone bad.

Anyway, next time I'll smell a bottle of Armour before I comment on

it. Thanks for the info.
