Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Had a medical thing that took part of the day(well, not the actual procedure, but the sedation and waking-up part) so I took the whole day off. No bad drug reactions here.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

It's an anti-epileptic drug (sometimes used for other things, but not in the NSAID class).

Also bi-polar drug, which so many anti-convulsants are and vice verse.

That totally fascinates me. The brain just blows me away.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

so a manager and one of his workers are having an argument in his office....which we ALL can hear.

We are having to eliminate positions and there are 2 employees who have had arguments like this in the last month, I am not sure why we are not just getting rid of the employees that are clearly unhappy with their positions.

I should qualify and say mood stabilizer, not just bi-polar.

My dormer pharmapsychologist was telling me how drugs to treat those three are so often started as a drug to treat one of the others. I was on depakote for my supposed seizure disorder, but it treated my as yet undetected bi-polar.

A surprising number of drugs start out as treatment for one condition and end up being good for something else. Sometimes, the drug does better for a totally different condition than it did for the original one. Example: Rogaine was originally a cholesterol blood pressure-lowering drug (taken in pill form). Not great at lowering cholesterol blood pressure; had an interesting side effect of hair growth. Switch it around to a topical formulation, and boom: hair-growth treatment.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

When I took my cat in to get her teeth cleaned a few years ago, they gave me a liquid antibiotic to give to her to prevent any kind of infection spreading through the mouth into her system. Surprising to the vet, it also cleared up the low-grade eye problem she had had for the three years since I adopted her (she wouldn't let me give her the eye drops or ointment that the vet had prescribed, and it never seemed to bother her so I didn't push it like I should have).

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I had a dream that there were four tea kettles boiling over in my kitchen, and there were no knobs on the stove for me to turn them off.

My dreams are anvils.

Yep, it's clear your subconscious wants you to drink more tea. Possibly you are secretly British.
