Yeah, I was told that if I have to use an OTC for a headache (mind you, this is just b/c of migraines, not for other random pains) to use naproxen (Aleve).
For me, naproxen is the OTC drug that will actually stop migraines rather than just lessen the pain while the other symptoms run their full course. I tend not to take other painkillers at all unless it's for something like a twisted ankle—I'm so used to headaches that I just grit my teeth and get through the tension-variety that lack vision problems, nausea, and dizziness.
In re the curfew - you know, there's a section of DC that has checkpoints. Anyone who can't produce proof that they have a reason to drive through the area (i.e., they live there, are visiting someone who's expecting them, has business) is turned away. It's in response to a bunch of shootings in the area. According to news reports, a lot of the people who live in the area approve of it. sigh.
Hivemind question: how much do you pay for a (salon) haircut? I am in need and the trendy-looking places I've been recommended start at $40-45. And it's not like this is the big city! Was I just spoiled by $25 Bobby? I miss Bobby.
flea, I paid $35/cut 4 years ago in MSP. Before I started going to the Amazing Kirsten, I paid $65/cut here in SF. So yeah, the prices sound about right.
I pay $35 for a cut, $55 for single process color, and $85 for double process color. And that's good for around here.
I paid $35 at Penney's in Rochester 8 years ago and $45 for a good cut elsewhere.
You were spoiled....
juliana - did K-Bug call you to get Kirsten's address? She asked me for it last night and I pointed her to you or Perkins.
Man, I need a trim and color update. I have no clue where to go.
I go to a salon that's part of a Dillard's department store, and it's about $25 (but that's without having it styled, because although Julie cuts it fantastically, when she styles it she gives me big hair and weird bangs).
Suzi, is there anyone at work whose hair you like? Ask them where they go.
