Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Our wings are not tired.

About the house with Evil!REAgent, sj? I know real estate stuff is very stressful, but you are the buyer, the boss, the customer. I'm hoping for the best resolution here.

Thrive to spite them

sj I hope things work out for the best with the house and the Evil Agent has learned some tact.

Anyone have any advice on humidifiers? I woke up several times last night because I felt so parched. This morning I felt like a dried out husk of a person. I've never bought one and started looking and now have no idea what to get.

Logically, I know that, but by nature I am extremely conflict avoidant.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

What Laura said. Remember, sj, if this falls through, you have LOTS of other houses to choose from out there. Sounds like the seller only has you at this point.

One last thing--having bought and sold several houses over the years, I can promise you that something ALWAYS goes wrong. It gets fixed, but it seems to always happen. It's such a big deal when you are buying a house that it seems like it should be really smooth and professional, but it's just people doing their jobs. If you go in expecting bumps in the road as an expected part of the process, it makes it easier when they show up.

I really wish this were true, but three months of searching shows that there really aren't that many ranches on the market in our area, and even less that have had any updates since they were built in the 70s.

Calm~ma, sj. I hope the meeting goes well.

Paging Teppy:

Do you know anything about the potential interaction between regular Zyrtec (cetirizine) and buspirone? M has been taking buspirone for a while, and also takes antihistamines regularly. He usually takes Claritin, but has been taking Zyrtec instead the last couple of weeks, and is now wondering if it might be interfering with the way the buspirone works -- seems like it's been less effective lately.

None that I can find.

(Although -- not related to Zyrtec at all -- does M know he shouldn't drink grapefruit juice while he's taking buspirone? The info page for buspirone specifically mentioned not to drink grapefruit juice.)

Teppy, I've heard about grapefruit conflicting with meds before - but is there an easy way to check which meds? Or just research each one?

Hmm. I found something mentioned on Drugs.com, but I really don't know how reliable a source that is.

does M know he shouldn't drink grapefruit juice while he's taking buspirone?

I think that's specifically mentioned on the pill bottle, but we don't tend to buy/drink grapefruit juice anyway, so that's not an issue.

Anyway, thank you for looking into it!

That, I don't know. I tend to just look up individual drugs.

Hmm. I found something mentioned on Drugs.com, but I really don't know how reliable a source that is.

I found that one, but it just said that the combination can increase drowsiness/other CNS impairments. Nothing about decreasing the effectiveness of buspirone.

Or maybe I found something else. Can you give me the link to what you found on Drugs.com?
