I think this is the first time i'm going to be fighting hard to take medicine.

But The Blogess emailed you that's so awesome.

Ugh, I hate medicine like that.

I'm almost at the point that if it doesn't come in a patch, I don't want any part of it.

Hil, I'm sorry you feel uncomfortable. I guess with all the mice business, you're probably not inclined to make a deal of this. Are you lighting a menorah (just curious)?

Yeah. Also, they've put the Christmas stuff up the other years I've lived here, and I've just felt uncomfortable and dealt with it. I am lighting a menorah.

Okay, so an ankh isn't really extant in anything other than co opted (NPI) Christianity, so I'm trying to think of something else--the Hindu "Om" symbol? Yin yang sign? Lotus flower?

Ankhs and yin yang symbols were usually more in jewelry and clothing than home decorations, and when I was in high school, different Jewish parents had different views on those. As far as I can recall, the general opinion was no on ankhs, yes on yin yang. Probably because an ankh kind of looks like a cross, and "But it's not Christian! It's Egyptian!" didn't make it much better.

The tongue numbness is common and should wear off pretty soon. And often you dot get it if you've been takin it a while. The no eating or drinking thing is just because its supposed to dissolve under your tongue and be absorbed through the skin under your tongue, not be swallowed or mostly taken away by saliva. Obviously you're going to have that happen some, but that's not how it is effective, so they just want it to not be washe away by drinking things. Apparently the unflavored one tastes like battery acid, FYI.

It is the most disgusting thing ever and I think this is suppopsed to be Black Cherry flavor.

Medicines that claim to be "cherry flavored" put me off actual cherries for most of my real. The people who create that must only know about cherries from a theoretical standpoint, because it's just not right.

Aims - Slings & Arrows!! Your tagline just made me smile.

Aims, that is fabulous!

askye, I'm sorry your new meds are so revolting - I hope that fades as you take them more.

I am lighting a menorah.

Well, the light of the Torah still shines brightly through the ages. Take that, Christianity!

Aims - Slings & Arrows!! Your tagline just made me smile.

Thanks! It's been my tagline for long, I almost forgot what it was!!

meara - I didn't do so well with the not swallowing, as soon as it started dissolving my mouth started watering so I was trying not to swallow but needing to.

Also it made me drowsy quickly so I'm going to be more prepared tonight take it first then all my other medications and see how I do.

As it dissolved it had a weird tingly sensation. But in the scope of things really not the worse medicine taking experience of my life. When I was a little kid I fought my parents so hard on more than one occasion they were forced to treat me like they were medicating a cat.

OMG Awesomecakes, Aims.

Sorry for the med uckiness, askye. Hope it is effective.

I made vegan latkes as a surprise for my friend when she came over for my Christmas Boat Parade viewing party Sunday night. I didn't like them, but the crowd ate them all up quick so I guess they were good.
