Wash ,'Bushwhacked'
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.
So today has been busy. I'm just now getting down to eating lunch. But on the plus side, I went to a good talk on teaching and Web 2.0.
And even better, I just got a nice pat on the back. One of my former students who is now at Keck Med School and making a bit of a name for himself just complimented me (behind my back even!) to both my boss and the new dean. Said my class was the best one he took as an undergraduate.
AND I just found out my kitty is doing okay. Now I need to pick her up soon.
The "PE" means "Pretends to be Effective."
I'm lucky enough to not be able to tell the difference. Well, not true, the new formula makes me a bit dopey, but it still works so I'm okay with it.
I find it annoying that the pharmacy is so careful about my medications - none of them is in the least bit fun (no, really) and I just can't imagine there being much demand for them except for the intended purpose. I know you need to take them with a doctor monitoring things, but it would be nice if I didn't have to get new prescriptions when the old one runs out. One of them, the doctor gave me 99 refills ... which is really convenient.
I think I'm the one person who likes the new new Sudafed better. The old kind made my heart gallop, but this kind works without the heart rate over 100 bpm and accompanying jitters.
Pretends to be Effective
Hah! As so many products do.

Nope. But we may be the only two. My reaction to pseudoephedrine is extreme enough (heart galloping, shakes, dry mouth, freaky-outy thoughts... your basic panic attack in a pill) that I used to despair of finding any cold medicine, because that shit was in everything whether it advertised itself as a decongestant or not.
(On the other hand, not much risk of becoming a meth freak...)

People are weird. I'd have thought that too about the med I take for my thyroid, but it turns out some folks take it to lose weight.
A lot of my meds do have happy!fun purposes, so I basically feel guilty requesting them or filling the prescriptions.
Wow. I've almost downed the whole quart of Smart Water and it's just turned three.
I had a slight ebay spasm and bought four sets of cufflinks. That doesn't make me a bad person, right?
So what OTC is good for sinus headaches? I was taking Pretends to be Effective and Advil and hoping they would make magic.
Migraine meds?
