Suzi, I take Abilify. What would you be taking it for, if you don't mind me asking?

(I get samples from my doctor, thus circumventing the paying-for-it issue for now.)

These?

Those. But fresh.

My boss started to ding me for something, telling me I need to get on his every email about this project right away, why hadn't I, and I checked my email and he'd never sent me anything. Turns out he was thinking of a different employee on a different project. Yet, he'd been thinking I messed up all day. I want a refund on the residual bad thoughts.

Possibly my mistake was in dealing with a human instead of a robot.

The robots always have better deals. Comcast told me to call them proactively about getting a new promotion after my current one ends, and the first thing the guy did was try to upsell me on a phone line and a bigger cable package. And when I said I didn't want to add anything, he offered to lower my cable by $20 and my Internet by $10 for a year. The robot gave me $25 off cable and $15 off cable for six months, which actually isn't that much more fantastic, but there may be better offers available in six months that make it worth it.

Those. But fresh.

Indian grocery store?

Indian grocery store?

I might give that a try, thanks.

Buying an el cheapo rice cooker has saved me from many pots of burned rice.

Wallybee's parents stayed with us for a month before Ryan was born, during which time they got to know our rice cooker. When they came back for Ryan's first year, they brought back a Chinese "THIS R SRS BIZNESS" rice cooker for us. I regard myself as well-served in the rice department.

I boil pasta the way I make rice (put the pasta in with whatever water and then boil it down until the pasta is done). With brown rice, I just use an excess of water and I boil it for ~20ish minutes then I drain the rice. Perfect.

However, I also use a rice cooker. In fact, I just got a new one. I wanted a zojirushi but got a similar model from Oster for a fraction of the price.

I use a steamer like this [link] for rice. It always comes out well and it doesn't matter if I forget about it. Plus it can be used for lots of other things, and I don't have the space or inclination for single use appliances.

anyone take strattera?

Suzi, I take Abilify. What would you be taking it for, if you don't mind me asking?

The hope was to replace the Welbutrin. I have a bunch of non-specific symptoms that fall under a few known issues i have. The doc is trying to systematically tackle each. Thyroid was out of whack, so that is now medicated. My iron is hosed so we are finally addressing that. Then there is also depression. I take Citilopram, which helps a bunch, but my doc was hoping the Abilify would help give me that kick until the iron was back to normal.
