Thanks, you guys! Usually I can google for myself....
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Also, can someone confirm for me that double the amount listed on the ibuprofin bottle for a day is actually OK?
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.
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!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I once had a doctor tell me I shouldn't drink within a week of taking ibuprofen. I laughed at that one. Not to his face, but later, while I was drinking.

That's bananas. Even the pill bottle says no more than three drinks per day!

As others have said, that should be safe. It's acetaminophen that you really have to be careful not to take too much of. People tend to think that because doctors prescribe it frequently (due to the lack of queasiness side effects or allergic reactions) that it can be downed like Tic Tacs, but the overdose risk is a lot worse than other over-the-counter painkillers.

I like the lighter hair on you Barb.
In me hair news, the new color is a pretty auburn but it is clearly too close to brown. No one has noticed it yet. Ah well. Maybe I have to strip some of the brown out of my hair first? But that sounds like double processing and that sounds like work, not to mention stressed out hair. Ah phooey. I guess I'll live with the too dark hair for now.

So my brother has a good lead in B'ham. Really, I want what is best for him career and familywise. But man...I am hoping he ends up closer. They want out of B'ham. Him in Frederick would mean crazyass hours and a great career, but at cost to family and $$. But still...my SIL could come to me with the kids!!!

So the link of people who contributed to the Yes on Prop 8 campaign included $20,000 from Dr. Greggory Devore, the motherfucking fetal specialist who told me 12 hours before I went into very premature labor that things looked ok. Oh how I want to send a very nasty letter to him questioning his ethics, especially regarding the care I received. because while I'd like to not question what he saw that day, I questioned it prior to knowing he spent $20,000 on Prop 8.
