I am home! But I didn't work today. Instead I slept late and went for a long walk in the woods and then my houseguest and I went to the DeYoung and saw the beautiful Turkmen rugs, which made me want to buy a new rug.

But I can't until the new dog stops peeing on the floor when she thinks I won't notice.

Now we're off to see Iron Man and eat popcorn, yay!

Hello? I'm very sorry to just jump into the thread, but I really need to use the Hivemind for a minute, if anyone's around?

I have a strip of Actifed, with no instructions for use. I am a coughing and sorrowful snotmonster. How many pills am I supposed to take, and how often? Google is giving me no love here beyond 'follow the instructions on the pack' which is not so much with the helpfulness because - no pack.

Consuela, Is this a new new dog, or the new dog you got a while back?

How big a dose is one pill? Cause Actifed comes in different doses.

[Edit} Or maybe it doesn't.

According to this web site:

[link] Each pill constains: (Chlorpheniramine maleate 4 mg Antihistamine) + (Phenylephrine HCl 10 mg Nasal decongestant)

and the standard dose is one tablet.

Thank you - I'd waded through half a dozen websites with mounting frustration while feeling like ass, before I thought - ask the Buffistas. Someone will know, surely to God.

I wish I could help with the dosages, but I'm notorious for throwing away the boxes and going "oh shit"!

New puppy?

I'm way too fond of my (supposed to be dad's) bronze fruitbat skull. It fits so nicely in my hand and I can put it on my fingertip like a puppet and it's just so neat and I keep trying to figure out how they made the cast. And I'm rubbing off a lot of the blackened patina. (The gallery manager has my # in case any other batty skulls come in from this artist. Yay!)

It's just...neat.

I think we need a picture of your fruitbat skull, sarameg.

New puppy is cute.

I had a free haircut. And she fixed my color for not much more ($30!) And she's going to do my brows for free next!

Aww, Hec is going to be so sad about being stuck at his internetless temp job.

I'm pretty sure that Hec is still pulling for me to go with the Carrie-Ann Moss as Trinity haircut. I think I need to lose twenty pounds before I could attempt anything that sleek.

It looks a lot more blackened in person than under the camera and desk light w/o flash: [link] (on my finger that desperately needs a manicure) and face on: [link]
