You might have seen this cousin's pied-a-terre one time I visited NY a million years ago. But you know how my memory fails me.

I believe I did! At least, I saw some real estate of some cousin of yours.

Steph, I have some birth control pills that expired a few months ago. Do they still work? I realize the official answer is no, don't take them, but I'm wondering what I can get away with.

A traditional tuck box is a box one stores food in at boarding school. Hers is a dressed up gift tuck box, where you put gifts and stuff in and send it to someone.

Fay, does one send an entire tuck box, or is it something you have with you at school and fill at will?

MAN I MISS THOSE FRIES. I AM OBSESSED.

That's the one! I think she's there full time now.

Do you happen to know how high a dosage you can go on Lexapro without, you know, making something melt or go 'splodey?

I think the official recommendation is 20 mg/day, but there are plenty of studies about a 40-mg/day dose where the subjects didn't have anything awful happen.

My printer is driving me nuts.

First it won't print envelopes and NOW it won't print mailing labels!

wait, so you pay $4500 for the box, THEN buy gifts to put in it?

That's how it looks.

The web site should be up soon and I'll need to look at it in more detail. She says 18"x18"x18". My mind boggles. I mean, it's pretty, and it's cool, but...dude.

Pharmaceutical manufacturers build in a safety margin because of PEOPLE LIKE JESSE people who keep drugs forever and then decide to take them. If it were any other drug, I'd say they're good for at least 6 months after the exp. date.

But with BCPs -- the thing with expiration dates is that the drug will become less effective. And that isn't a good thing to mess around with when it comes to BCPs. You know?

They're probably fine, but I don't want to be responsible for a bouncing baby Jesse.

That's how it looks.

ooookay. well, there a lot of people with more money than sense, so i don't know why I'm suprised. I would love for you to post a link, though.

I know, I know. I just thought I had another week or two to get my shit together. Alas. I have two of the packs, how about if I just take two at a time? They're low-dose!

Kidding. Kind of.

I wish I knew the answer to this, but the closest I came to bording school was reading Elinor Brent-Dyer books, and my memory of those is hazy. I'm going to guess, though, that you take the tuck box to school with you, crammed with lashings of delicious grub, and then as one gradually empties it, one's loving mater and pater gradually send more ripping treats. Possibly. But I'm just guessing.
