SA, that is wonderful news.
Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

Spike's Bitches 29: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I look more rad than Lutheranism
SA, that is EXCELLENT!!!!
And I am suffering some ill effects from antibiotics. Given what I do for a living, it took me too long to look stuff up and see if this jaw pain -- and I do mean pain, as in maybe-I'll-just-pop-in-to-the-ER pain -- was drug-related.
Cipro and the second antibiotic that alternate!doc prescribed for me (Levaquin) are in the same class of drugs, called quinolones. WHY, for fuck's sake, would you prescribe a drug in the same class as the one that made your patient sick? When there are dozens of other antibiotics out there that work very well and don't make me sick?
Also, the quinolone class of antibiotics apparently can cause very serious side effects, of the sort that don't go away for a long time. As such, they're recommended to be used for serious infections, like anthrax, or when a lesser infection (like sinus) doesn't respond to other antibiotics.
But no -- alternate!doc prescribed Cipro first off, when, like I said, my chart showed a whole list of antibiotics that have worked well for me without causing horrible side effects. And then when quinolone #1 make me sick, did she switch to a different antibiotic family? No -- she gave me another one.
I'm going to e-mail good!doctor and explain my displeasure. And I do mean displeasure -- not bitching or throwing a tantrum, but really. Prescribing Cipro for an ear infection (when she didn't even culture it to see if it was [1] actually a bacterial infection, or [2] susceptible to a less-toxic antibiotic) is an awful lot like turning off your TV by blasting it with a shotgun. Yeah, it does what you want it to, but the collateral damage is pretty bad, and your objective could have been attained without actually destroying the TV in the process.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Wheee. hoorraY for SA!
I hate when i have to tell people(patrons) a rule at work. Esp - when there is something that indicates that maybe there is a rule. And I really hate when people - esp adults get pouty and ranty about it. But what I really love , is when they say "I should get specail privlages because I am an adult , not a kid". Because I can go from feeling vaguely like I might have handled something better to feeling like the self rightous library goddess that I am.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I saw an article recently about a guy in... Minnesota? maybe? who did just that on Craig's list. It was a rousing success until someone tried to take is stove and caused a gas leak.This is why we are doing it *outside* and I will put my bike in the living room. I fugure until someone tries to abscond with the nephlet, we're all good.
my bag was thereFab!
I ated too much chipotle chicken enchilada. And had a big prickly pear margarita. Duuuuuuuuuuuude.
