I love But Not the Hippopotamus.
My friend's do the 10 Minutes to Bedtime (Peggy Rathmann), but I've read the Going to Bed book too.
Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

Spike's Bitches 33: Weeping, crawling, blaming everybody else
[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.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
But not the armadillo....

Art Crawl!!!
It's an anti-inflammatory - generic Daypro. Some of the side effects include heart attacks, ulcers and other very nasty things.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Some of the side effects include heart attacks, ulcers and other very nasty things.
Most drug's side effects include earthshattering stuff. My assumption is that if they were likely, I'd not have been prescribed it, and if they're unlikely I may very well get killed on the way to the pharmacy.
It's the more middle of the road side effects (nausea, weight loss/gain, etc) I pay attention to, and even then only well after I've been taking it for a while, because I don't trust myself not to make stuff up.

What is even happening?
If you take them, take them with food (and milk, if you can and do drink it) -- like a meal's amount of food.
What's up with the heart attack warning? Well, they do always put everything in the warnings. I remember reading the side-effects list on my first birth control prescription. I'm still trying to work out, all these years later, just how exactly death falls under 'side-effect'.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
sumi, take it on a full stomach with a full glass of water, and then take something for stomach upset after--zantac, mylanta, tums. If that works, then I'd keep taking it until Monday. The doctor told me she'd rather prescribe something to control the nausea than for me to lose out on the benefits of the meds she's prescribing.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
my sister ha been in the drug industry for years. Side effects are sort of a wierd thing- like if someone gets a cold while takeing a new pain killer - it is put in the possibel side effects column. - so things like heart attack- may have zero relationship with the drug

Compassionately intolerant
There is a book called Hippos Go Berserk??? OMG. How, oh how have I lived without it. This will not STAND. Must. have. now.
And thanks for the good thoughts on the transition. Once I'm over the aftermath of tequila and bad judgement, I'm going to be beside myself with relief and glee. wheee.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Man I thought my allergy pills weren't working too well anymore but I forgot them today and I feel like a big snot ball. Bleah. Caffeine helps.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I've been skimming, again. Work is kicking my heiney. Too much Buffistas talk to keep up with. Job~ma, pet~ma, and health~ma to everyone, good grief, even those who don't need it, just as a prophylactic.
Wonderful photos of party, babies, and cleavage!
I suddenly realize I need to go to class, and then I realized I haven't been in like, months, and I really have to go but I'm really scared to, etc...
Amazing how common this dream is. I have it every few months. Also, the dream wherein I've left my job and/or moved into a new place, and suddenly realize I'm miserable and I've made a huge mistake, and I want desperately to go back to my old job/apartment. Possibly I'm still scarred from when that actually happened.
Oh, and ChiKat? Eternal thanks for helping me find Igigi. Ever since I gained weight I've been lamenting and snarling that "regular" sizes are too small and plus sizes are too big and nothing fits me because my body shape is all "wrong". Igigi is the first website I've ever seen that designs clothes specifically for different shapes.
