It is 19.95 for THREE POUNDS (to better understand my outrage, I will mention that 2 pounds of AP flour usually costs less than two dollars). They are really taking advantage of people's love of carbs.

GF flour ain't cheap, but Thomas Keller's new flour is definitely on the high end. The GF AP flour I use is $4 for 2 pounds; the GF baking mix I use (which has baking powder, salt, etc., in it; it's similar to Bisquik) is $13 for 4 pounds.

I'd like to try Keller's flour, to see if it's All That, but no way am I spending $20 for 3 pounds. I wonder how much of the price is because it's his super-special name on the label.

I'm going to go with "most"

I have Ativan, woohoo. I think I may test-drive it tonight so I know how it affects me, rather than have some kind of unintentional drug-induced hilarity at the funeral.

I'm all for trying it out, but I don't think it'll make you feel drugged. I've only taken it twice, but it didn't alter me, it just helped me keep my cool instead of flipping out like a mammal.

I mostly have visions of falling asleep at a bad time. If it's going to make me drowsy, I'd like to know how much.

Try a half first, maybe? Ativan definitely makes me sleepy.

I've taken klonopin, another anti anxiety med. It can make me sleepy. At times I over estimated how freaked out I was going to be and didn't need a whole tablet to calm down.

I second this recommendation. Ativan is great for anxiety, but it puts me right to sleep.

Bullet time brain. It gives you that moment to get back in control when things are flying around way too fast in my brain.

That said, if it makes you sleepy or anything, you'll know to start with half or even a quarter and then add more as needed during a stressful moment.

Things often make me sleepy, so I'm suspicious.
