Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Tuesday! You are on the list!

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Thank you. I feel comforted.

So, since Steph can't be around during the day... does anyone else know if it's a good or a bad idea to take Flagyl and Difuclan at the same time?

“Not dead yet!”

Looks like the outer bands from Fay are beginning to reach us. Glad I went grocery shopping yesterday.

And yeah, Deena-- Monday sucks, even if it tries to disguise itself as a Tuesday.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I spent most of Monday at doctors' appointments. Including chemical cauterization to stop chronic nosebleeds.

It isn't as painful as it sounds because anesthetic is applied first. But it's weird to walk around for several hours with a numb right nostril.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Deena, my understanding of Diflucan is it's pretty benign with other meds. This is the list of interactions I've found:

Oral hypoglycemics
Coumarin-type anticoagulants
Phenytoin
Cyclosporine
Rifampin
Theophylline
Terfenadine
Cisapride
Astemizole
Rifabutin
Tacrolimus
Short-acting benzodiazepines
Oral hypoglycemics

You know what I'd do, though? Call and ask your pharmacist. They would know.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

So, since Steph can't be around during the day... does anyone else know if it's a good or a bad idea to take Flagyl and Difuclan at the same time?

I keep sneaking and looking at the board during the day. Just not for very long.

You can take them together; in fact, some doctors will prescribe Diflucan right along with an antibiotic, because, in a lot of women, the antibiotic kills off necessary vaginal bacteria along with the bad bacteria, leading to a nasty yeast infection. But the Diflucan heads that off at the pass.

Totally unrelated to anything, anyone have experience with the Swiffer Vacuum Sweeper [link] ? I saw it at BJs yesterday and wondered if it would be a good purchase. I have all hard wood/tile floors, and my vacuum really doesn't work on it, and I kill my back sweeping. Would this be a good possibility, seeing as I can't afford a Roomba?

Including chemical cauterization to stop chronic nosebleeds

I've had that! I don't remember if it hurt because that whole bit is a blur, especially after I had to have my right sinus cavity packed with gauze because an artery had burst after exposure to toxic mold in the bedroom of our new apartment. Still, the next step was surgery, so it ended well.

Thanks, Steph!

Val, if Steph hadn't shown up, that would have been a good idea. Thank you for using your brain, since mine seems to be at the cleaners.

I think my mom uses and likes it that, Val, but she's not known for her eat-off-they're-so-clean floors, so...
