Oh hell, yes.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

And then use it when I need a very very very good night's sleep. Or when my neck twinges from carrying the baby around.

I've never been given anything stronger than a Tylenol 3. (Tylenol with Codeine) I think my high pain threshold keeps me from rating any pain higher than a 7 and it screws me every time.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Sue, do you also have trouble rating movies on Netflix-- I give movies I like a 2 1/2 or 3. It takes a lot to be a 4 star movie for me. But it screws me in the recommendations, I think.

I don't have Netflix, but I generally have a hard time giving full marks to anything. It must be my hypercritical Virgo nature.

I am also a Virgo, and I never give full marks! Although now that I calculate professor's evaluations, I feel bad, because almost everyone gives the highest mark, and, in fact, you are supposed to have 90% at a 4 or 5 for everything. I used to do well thought out answers for each question on the eval, along with wirtten comments. I bet the admin hated me!

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
I always give the pain and the movies slightly higher numbers than it deserves, but that would be my passionate scorpio nature.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
I tend to lowball the pain. When I had my surgery, I kept telling them I didn't need pain meds. Finally the nurse said "I'm not asking you if you can bear it, I'm asking if you feel any pain at all" and I said "well yeah, it hurts but I can deal." She then made me take some drugs.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am proof there's no virtue in pain, but I've flushed my share of meds, and recently at that. I had my reasons, and I stand by them.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
My Mom doesn't like the pain meds because they make her fuzzy-headed As often as she's in pain being perpetually mentally altered is something she's just not willing to do.
When her Father was dying he was much the same, he knew they were his last days and he wanted to be lucid no matter how much it hurt.
In the first case I'd probably act like Mom. In the second? I'd be fucking stoned.
