Huh -- I get to nine pills (fiber, minerals, vitamins, EFA, one prescription) daily if I count 'em up. And that doesn't include divers painkillers and Sudafed taken frequently in an average day....
Raise your hand if 'ew.'

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Mine were the fishy sort too. Guess I (and the people around me) got lucky. I stopped taking them when I ran out. I'm lazy like that. I make sure I'm up on multivitamins, glucosamine, and my regular migraine meds.
eta: I'm at 14 pills if I don't have to take anything for pain

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm going to a senior recital tomorrow for a girl who sings in the symphony chorus with me. She's a harpist, and she's going off to college in Toronto. I'd sort of like to get her a little gift, and I'm trying to remember what was useful when I went off to college.
Suggestions?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Yay, Jesse!!!!!
So now there's the big yellow plastic bullet,
I take these, too. For non-baby-making reasons.
Goodness, I take (counts on fingers) 19 pills per day. Yikes. Most of those are vitamins, but still.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Beer. I found that very useful.

Suggestions?
Toaster oven. (way better than a microwave- toasted cheese and bagels) Small electric kettle for heating water.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Dana, something like this, with maybe a couple of cups of instant noodles or soup or oatmeal or just some cocoa or instant coffee.

I really miss my weighing scales for baking. And I had to give in and buy a blender. Useful for cooking AND for cocktail parties.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Also, appears to be an escaped con in your neighborhood, Tommyrot and aurelia. Don't answer that dooe!
Is that what the helicopter this morning was about?
Shrift, FYI you live between Tommyrot and I (closer to tommyrot).

Dana, how much do you want to spend? Ideas: phone cards, video rental cards, movie theater gift certificates, rolls of quarters (for laundry!), small microwave for dorm room, shower caddy with flip flops, whiteboard/markers for dorm room door.
