I'm really happy about the new job. It's not in theater/entertainment, but it's a semi-related skill to the rest of the work I do, and at $30 an hour, even with just two or three days a week, I no longer have to nervously rely on random overhire gigs to get by, but I can take them when I want to.

This is really great news Sean! Glad to hear that they are also willing to be flexible enough for you to still take your theatre work.

And the finger. I'm giving it that, too.

Oh hell yeah!

So, anyone know if I can take Zyrtec after having taken Zicam? Zicam's not doing anything useful. I don't see anything that would negate simultaneous use on the packaging.

Yup. Zicam is zinc, not a drug, so there's no danger of an interaction.

Heh. I was just coming to ask the all-powerful Steph a med question myself.

Can I rotate taking ibuprofen and Ultracet (Tramadol and acetaminophen), so I'm taking one every three hours? Or, do I need to call and ask my PCP this? My chiro recommended it, but said to check online or with PCP first. I can't find helpful info online, and I'm really trying to make it more than three day without paging the PCP.

That poster in the article Vortex linked to talks about indoors-to-outdoors behaviour editing that she engages in. Do the straight folk here engage in that too? Or do you stare at your SO in public the same way you'd want to in private?

I'm generally the same indoors and out except for lowing my voice where necessary.

One old flame and I loved the South Park movie so much, we got the soundtrack and listened to it at home repeatedly. We were shocked however, to be singing 'Uncle Fucka' in a parking lot at roughly the same volume as at home. Oops.

But as far as longing glances, hand holding and inoffensive kissing? indoors = outdoors.

Can I rotate taking ibuprofen and Ultracet (Tramadol and acetaminophen), so I'm taking one every three hours?

Yes. If you need to do that for longer than a few days, though, definitely call your doctor. (Not because of the drug combo; because of the pain levels.)

I do not, but because I am hugely anti PDA, not because I have any fear or discomfort. I think nothing of holding hands or kissing hello or goodbye, and it makes me sad that others have to think about it.

I was out to dinner with my best friend and some other friends, among whom was a gay couple. One of the couple is a doctor who had to go to work after dinner, so when he left, he and his partner hugged, and said, "See you at home," and it struck me so strongly that they have to think about whether even a hug was safe to do in a busy restaurant. It makes me so sad, too.
