Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Happy Secretary's Day Allyson!!!

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

See? That's what I'm talking about!

Now tagless for your comfort.

Happy Administrative Professionals' Day!

Remember, don't fuck with the people that handle your mail, your calender and your travel reservations. Just don't.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Or do your research.

Why yes, lots of drugs are better for something other than the original use. However, please note that it's illegal to market any drug for a use not approved by the FDA. Doctors can prescribe, but NO marketing materials or any "off-label" encouragement can be given. If another use is discovered, and the sponsor (company) wants to be able to market towards it, it has to conduct clinical trials proving safety and efficacy.

Uh. Did I imply that drug companies can just market their drugs for whatever indication they felt like, without trials and FDA approval? I certainly didn't mean to, because I know very well that they can't.

Crap, I have a couple of credit cards I never use, are packed somewhere and I need to call to change addresses on them too.

I should do something useful tonight but I'm kinda used up. Took some stuff over to the house and then didn't get home until 7 after hitting Home Despot again. I'm going to be taking towel holders and stuff tomorrow, afixing a lock and hopefully planting the cuttings Lisa gave me. I wanted to do the latter today at lunch, but it was pretty stormy. Target tomorrow night. Shower curtains. Many.

Steph, I was joining in the conversation and making a point to people who aren't familiar with drug development. It wasn't to counter anything anyone had already said. My use of "however" is a general use of it towards John Q. Public.

Okay, that's cool. I was afraid I said something inadvertently wrong or a snide implication or something.
