Nice to come in here and hear mostly good news. So, yay for interviews and more free-lance work. Yay for good biopsy. Yay for enlightened sellers. Yay-ish for bone marrow test (if it helps fix the problem, it seems to go in the yay category.) Boo for creepy men.

IOmeN, paging Teppy, if you're around. My doctor prescribed me Vicodin for back/neck pain and I need to know if I can take my Clonazepam before bed as usual.

My doctor prescribed me Vicodin for back/neck pain and I need to know if I can take my Clonazepam before bed as usual.

When do you take the Vicodin? Would you be taking it with the clonazepam, or is it spaced out by a couple of hours?

(Basically, I think you'll be fine even if you take them at the same time, but I tend to think spacing out drugs that act on the CNS is helpful.)

I took the Vicodin about 7pm, I'll be taking the Clonazepam here shortly.

eta: So it sounds like I should be okay. Thanks for your help, Teppy!

Oh, yeah. That's plenty of time between them.

t edit I say that as I'm about to zip off to the bathroom and take enough antihistamines to tranq a rhino.

I am an Ex-Licensed Social Worker,

I think Ex-Licensed might be the key words here. Oy.

Inorite?

Ha! That's the same exact part I quoted to Tim.

A Marine once told me--it's usually former Marine, not ex-Marine. It was apparently a very important distinction.

So, yeah, it stood out to me too.

While perusing Craigslist, I found the following ad. Not what I expected when I clicked an ad for a "professional 'Daddy'" but still an eyebrow-raiser - [link].

"GUARANTEED"? Really? Can we sic this creepy guy on Ginger's creepy guy?

I think Ex-Licensed might be the key words here. Oy.

Oh, yeah. I'm not sure, but I think if I had meant to explain that having officially retired from my profession, I have let certain professional credentials lapse, I would want to express it "retired ____".

Friend divorce quick update: got a message admitting that, in fact, her outburst may have been extreme, but she is lonely.

I wrote a fairly long message to let her know that although I may not be around to chat as much as I used to, she is one of my oldest friends in the world, and I love her. That said, I told her that she hurt me, and that I wish she hadn't expressed her loneliness by cutting people out of her life. I said I needed to take some time and not talk to her for a while.

So I feel pretty OK about telling her how I felt without escalating the situation. This is the second time she's done this and I don't know that I want to give her a chance for the third.

I feel bad for her. I know she's lonely. But.
