I use it when I'm sick. Mom says it's a natural anti-b, and I cannot contac my colds, or take Sudafed, or anything. They make me sick, so it's one of my only anti-histamine choices. I'm not sure about preventative use...probably people at the health food store will tell you more than you EVER wanted to know.

Yeah, thus, my asking the invisible friends first!

It looks slightly too DB focused for my rusty self, drat it. Time to brush up the skills as well as the resume. (I've spent the last year looking at nothing but XML. It's been less than exciting.) But thanks.

Knowing now that you're XML-heavy, I'll make sure that the next time anything web-wise in this school opens up you get an interview.

We don't do DB connections anymore for the web, only XMLHTTPRequest, and I keep dealing with people who don't know what to do with raw XML.

I'm laughing at Emily's tag, 'cause we haven't been back to the gym since. Although, we have GRAND plans.

Hey, Emily. Wanna go with me to LA in November? You could use another trip!

I'm sitting at my new job. They have nothing for me to do. Posting already...And I was gonna be good for at least a day...

Glower at it!

(What? It's worked for me since 2001.)

If glowering at things is the key, I am shockingly underpaid for my skill set.

Dad was discharged from the hospital today, yay! I picked him up and got him settled in his apartment. He said he's not nearly as sore from the catheter being snaked through his femoral artery as he has been from previous procedures, which seems a good sign.

I took work with me when I left the office, and I just came home after getting Dad settled in. But right now, rather than do work, I'm going to take a nap. Oh, yes. Yes I am.

Someone tell me to step away from the House communities, please. I'm reading posts where folks are horribly shocked that House is being a jerk on the show. I suspect it wouldn't go over well for me to post, "That's what the character does. What show have you been watching?"

I'm glad your dad's home and settled, Steph.

horribly shocked that House is being a jerk on the show

umm, huh?

umm, huh?

Uh-huh. He's especially mean to poor little cancer-stricken children. 'Cause he hates them, evidently.

I'm having one of those flashes where you wish a fictional character was real, so you could get together with him, point him at his detractors, and say, "Go to, buddy. Here's my keyboard."

Usually flashes like this are more related to the characters and leather pants, so this is a refreshing change.
