Wheeeeee, Baby Alter!!! So exciting! He'll share a birthday with a dear friend of mine. I never forget it because it's Flag Day! And I never forget Flag Day because of M's birthday.
IME, it really helped cut down on the confused blinking and puzzled faces to go and marry one of my Buffy board people -- marriage, I suppose, is such a spectacularly normal thing to do that it de-weirded the entire community in my non-Buffy people's eyes.
Yeah, getting an awesome partner out of the whole series of tubes thing tended to legitimize the whole internet community thing. I really actually had to train myself not to tell the story in any self-deprecating or embarassed way, and people really respond positively to it. I think that meeting people on the internet at this point is so widespread, that's another reason that the meeting each other on an internet community is not really eyebrow raising anymore.
But when I 'splained the F2F, I got some ribbing. So taken out of the Tom context, weird looks still occur.
Flag Day is also my wedding anniversary. 21 years ago today Hubby and I made it legal.
It is also truejavachick's birthday.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRUE JAVA CHICK!!! MWAH!!
Happy Anniversary, connie!
Somebody once said, "Oh, that's so patriotic!" Well, no, that was the nearest convenient Saturday, that's all.
Ooops!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY CONNIE!!!
Happy Anniversay, connie!
My understanding - and this is probably from Steph - is that grapefruit juice hinders metabolism of some meds. So instead of being metabolized it hangs around in your system, and over time can lead to an accidental overdose.
Yup. Grapefruit juice, for whatever reason, does something wonky to the hepatic enzymes that metabolize many, MANY medications, and you do, in effect, end up inadvertently overdosing yourself.
I actually only remembered just last night because someone mentioned Baby Alter was going to be a Flag Day baby and I thought "Flag Day, Flag Day, that's important for some reason--oh!" So I'm not one of those women who wait to pounce on their husbands for forgetting anniversaries.
It's my parents' anniversary too - 38 years!
