Barb, I remember being so ASTOUNDED when I went to London and you were allowed get an antibio from the chemist.
Yeah, I've never been to Europe, but Lewis has and he said it was amazing what was considered OTC there vs. here.
And all the doctor relatives are starting to retire or die off-- luckily, however, my sister works at a predominantly Latin-staffed hospital where most of the doctors did their training in Europe or South America. Listening to conversations with them about American drug regulations is... enlightening, to say the least.
Ah, back from the best drug evah -- long burningly hot shower. Right on my back for 10 minutes.
I love my building's water heater!
Dang, I need to get my brows waxed and my hair trimmed. SCARY.
ah ... percocet ... although I find I get side effects
Insano-political spoiler font for last night's debate:
Did Palin really come this close to saying, "Some of my best friends are gay" when asked about same-sex marriage?
Yes, yes she did, WS. And actually, she's said that before.
Good gravy, someone must have cluesticked her about how to say stuff like that. It almost made it sound like she had a tolerant bone in her body.

Really? I can't hear the phrase (or its variants, some of my best friends are Jewish, some of my best friends are black, etc.) without hearing it as "I'm about to say something really horrible but you can't call me a homophobe (anti-semite, racist)."
Ha, I wasn't sure if she was saying "Some of my best friends are gay" OR "some of my best friends are homophobes."
America is a Puritan country, we're supposed to gnaw on a bullet and trust the the Lord rather than be so weak as to ask for help.
There are reasons various countries threw my snooty, judgemental ancestors out.
