Natter 53: We could just avoid making tortured puns
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.
Have sore jaw. It woke me up this morning. Not a good way to wake up.
Also, in fighting with my cat over the pillow in my sleep, I dreamed he was 74964399342.68 (or something like that) and if I could just turn him into a whole integer divisible by 5, he'd stop kicking me in the head and I'd have the pillow all to myself.
It made sense then, ok?
Neat ideas:
Thank Ann Coulter. Ann Coulter is speaking on Xavier University's campus September 6 in Cincinnati. Her $20,000+ speaking fee equals about $5 for every Xavier student. Can you give $5 to support student groups on Xavier's campus working for justice, diversity, fairness, and compassion? The same kind of groups Ann Coulter regularly attacks? We'll let her know how much we raise, and send her a thank you card signed with your name.

Of course it makes sense. He would then be a respectable member of the rational numbers group, and as a rational being, he would understand why kicking you is not the proper thing to do. I mean, obviously.
Bwahahaha!
I think the evenings of tutoring this summer have taken their toll.

Nah, he'd still be a cat.
Nah, he'd still be a cat.
But a cat divisible by 5!
No, wait. Every cat should be this way, what with four legs plus one tail. Hmm.
Hivemind: I seem to have developed seasonal allergies for the first time in my life. I had about a month of itchy throat caused by postnasal drip this spring, and now it's back. Can anyone recommend a safe, no-side-effect, cheap OTC medicine to help make me feel less like ripping my throat out, and possibly the throat of any innocent being who happens to annoy me? I have tried taking sudafed at night sometimes, and it helps some, but I am wary of taking a sudafed every night for weeks on end. Or do I need to see a doctor?

I thought for a second you meant Xavier in New Orleans, and I was prepared to be very surprised.

Benadryl will help, but it may make you sleepy. Afrin will help, but it can only be used for about three days before it starts making things worse. Theo is a big proponent of plain old saline nasal spray.
flea, I'd see the doctor since sometimes getting a prescription can cost less than an OTC medicine. The doc might be able to give you some samples to try and see what works.
Personally, I think the nasal sprays that have a very, very low dose of steroids work miracles for me without much in the way of side effects. (eta: Not Afrin, but things like Beconase)
But I really think that there isn't one good choice here - it's going to be what works for you.

For me, at least, while Claritin does nothing for me, Allegra is the shit.
