Congrats on the new dog !!! I don't know much about greyhounds but I've heard they are awesome laid back easy going dogs.

Steph! Can you answer a question about the Tessalon Perls? They work great, but they only work for about three hours. The instructions/info sheet say "don't take more than 200mg at a time" (the pills are 100mg), and "3 times a day prn" (which I would assume to be about every six hours) but it doesn't say explicitly how long I should wait between doses. Can I take one every three hours? Then should I not take more than three a day, and switch to another cough medicine when the third one "runs out"?

Hmmm. Right now, are you taking 2 at a time, or 1?

Just one.

Barb, another vote on that competition dress. VavavavavaVOOOM. I would wear that everywhere if i had the back to pull it off. And if i could wear orange and gold without looking like a reanimated corpse.

Try taking 2 at a time, and see how long the effect lasts. Since it says "don't take more than 200 mg at a time," and each pill is only 100 mg, then take 2. Sometimes you need to take the maximum prescribed.

I love orange and it's a "sunny" color I can actually wear unlike, say yellow, which turns me into a reanimated corpse. What I like about it, too, is that for the RITAs, so many people fall back on wearing traditional shades, that a color like orange really stands out.

I figure if I ever wear black to the RITAs, it's going to have to be a hellacious dress in terms of design and detail so that it stands out from the pack. I'll get Jilli to dress me!

And I would point you at my girl Kambriel, who is so amazingly talented that I sometimes just boggle that she's my friend.

The greyhounds I've met have been delightful dogs. Sweet, gentle, and generally quiet. They can have a strong prey drive, though, so they aren't always good with cats and other smaller pets.

Ah, that reminds me, I have pictures now from the dress-as-a-goth birthday party. I'll have to get one up on Flickr for show and tell, although by the time we started taking pictures, I had already taken my corset off because I ated too much cake. Tim's outfit is totally worth seeing, though.

I shall experiment with my person and report back.
