I'd never cut my hair these days. It's too complicated.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And is the Great Brain where I "learned" that the religious dichotomy is Mormons v. gentiles?? That messed me up later.

Also, can someone confirm for me that double the amount listed on the ibuprofin bottle for a day is actually OK?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

The Great Brain is where I learned about things like mumps and diabetes and quarantine! I loved those books.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Yes, you can take 800 mgs at a time. I've heard you're not supposed to exceed 1600 in a day, but other, more pharmaceutically aware people than I have scoffed at that limit.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Also a Great Brain fan. I particularly liked the last one when he went off to an academy and they had a key to a secret room.

A quick google has 3200 per day.

I swear, one of these days, I will work on my reading comprehension.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

You can take 800 mg every 4-6 hours. If you need to take that amount for longer than, say, a week, you should probably call your doctor/healer/shaman.

Yeah, that's about what I've been doing. I think I've taken 400 every 2-3 hours today. Go away, stupid headache!
